Please enter password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool?

After enabling my VPN in configuration.nix, I get the following:

Broadcast message from root@myinstance (Tue 2026-07-28 12:07:38 MDT):

Password entry required for 'Enter Auth Username:' (PID 934267).
Please enter password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool.

How exactly am I supposed to enter the uid/pwd? sudo systemd-tty-ask-password-agent doesn’t do anything.

What I’ve been doing is just restarting the vpn service. Then I get a prompt like:

🔐 Enter Auth Username: <some nonsense string>
🔐 Enter Auth Password: ••••••••••••••••••••••••

This works, but how do I ‘use the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool’ to do it?
