Hebrew Passwords on WinXP

Question

What is the accepted way for entering passwords in Hebrew / Hebrew localised installations? Should the password entry dialog be right aligned with new characters appending on the left? like this:

|----------------------|
|              |*******|
|----------------------|

Or do they generally left align with new characters inserted to the left? like this:

|----------------------|
||*******              |
|----------------------|

Or is it some other layout?

I'm doing some mock-ups of a Hebrew version of the software I'm working on and want to know what the normal way to do this is so the mock-up is correct.

In gnome, the alignment of the password textbox automatically changes when the user switches the keyboard between Hebrew and English modes. This serves as another hint to whether the password being typed is in the right keyboard layout.
