The password echoed as asterisk, the reponses are the same except the
last character:

pkcheck --action-id org.debian.apt.upgrade-packages --allow-user-
interaction --process $PID

response:
polkit/56temporary_authorization_id=tmpauthz0

pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set --allow-
user-interaction --process $PID

response:
polkit/56temporary_authorization_id=tmpauthz1

Both require authentication, both echo the password as asterisk.
