Some username-password request pages, upon submitting the password, a
JavaScript (I think[1]) box comes up asking for the "master password".
This has happened a few times to me on sites I have already
registered-to and used. I put in the same password that I used in the
form password field, and the authentication works.

So why did they add the JavaScript to redundantly asking for the
password? What purpose does it serve?

One example is http://isohunt.com/

[1] This is something I'm completely ignorant about.
