screenshot showing the login dialog for user input

When i was trying to enter in my windows shared folders, the authentication dialog showed up(like in the print), and i though that it was asking for the login info of my windows machine, and i spend a long time back and forth trying to input my windows login info there to connect, debugging etc, i only noticed that it was asking for my LINUX machine login info when i trying the same thing using samba-cli.
So my wish is that the authentication dialog show the same layout that others KDE tools use e.g sddm authentication required dialog,  so the user can not fall in the same hole as me(putting the windows credentials instead of the linux ones) thank you all very much!

SDDM authentication required dialog

Here i show the SSDM authentication required dialog as a example to what i think could better convey who is the credentials that dolphin is asking for
