Yes, that is what I want to do. But a little difference is that I want two different auth layers (one less frequently used than the other), not one. Only one layer is not enough, but one for each application are too many.
I want a trade-off between security and convience, for some of the users always like to store their common used password carelessly. However, I do not know if I am going on the right way.

It isn't that you can't use it that way but there isn't much point. The
idea is for PAM to provide a common way to configure multiple services
to use the same method(s). If you are configure one service to use one
different method that the service can do directly, PAM is just an
unnecessary layer.
