It depends on how much more you're going to need :)

If it's something simple, you could overload the <pass></pass> tag to
contain multiple delimited fields, since it's just passed as plaintext to
the module.  If it's something drastically more complex, then we can look
at extending the login packet(using <ext></ext> like in other packets
possibly) or maybe having a two phase login using a normal login packet
and subsequent <query></query> packets.

Everything else looks great though!
