This is a PAM message:

bubulle at mykerinos:~/src/debian/dpkg/git/po> msgunfmt /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/Linux-PAM.mo |grep -i token
msgid "Authentication token aging disabled"
msgid "Authentication token expired"
msgid "Authentication token is no longer valid; new one required"
msgid "Authentication token lock busy"
