Try using Authenticate.. eg exten => 18,2,Authenticate(1234)

*CLI> show application Authenticate
  -= Info about application 'Authenticate' =-
                                                                                                                                             

[Synopsis]:
Authenticate a user
                                                                                                                                             

[Description]:
  Authenticate(password[|options]): Requires a user to enter agiven 
password in order to continue execution.  If the
password begins with the '/' character, it is interpreted as
a file which contains a list of valid passwords (1 per line).
an optional set of opions may be provided by concatenating any
of the following letters:
     a - Set account code to the password that is entered
                                                                                                                                             

Returns 0 if the user enters a valid password within three
tries, or -1 otherwise (or on hangup).
