There was an issue with virsh corrected by libvirt 3.4.0 where virsh
would continue prompting for password as a result of polkit and
pkttyagent interactions
See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1374126
or the upstream commit:
https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=2453501fc8
Perhaps that's what you're bumping into at least w/r/t the indefinite
password prompting.
