OmniFocus does have a place to enter login information, but there's an operating system bug (only in some versions of the OS!) where it won't ask OmniFocus for the password when there's already a password in the keychain, even if that password is wrong. It just retries using the keychain's password, and retries, and retries again, without ever prompting. (This isn't specific to OmniFocus; you can also reproduce this bug in Safari on those versions of the OS.)

I have some ideas on how we might be able to work around this bug (by storing the password somewhere else in the keychain so the OS doesn't see it), but my preference would be for Apple to fix the underlying bug in the OS.
