Not if the client is braindead. :-)

You could use both send_message(0) and reorder the output to have
'Password' at the beginning of the line both times?

    Password:
    Password (verify):

... Certainly make sure you test the results with something other than
your own telnet executable.  There are various mud/telnet
implementations that you could use for this.
