Overwrite Authentication Type's form.php in a Package

Question

I am trying to overwrite the form.php file for the 'concrete' authentification type. I can make it work if I place the form.php file in the /application/authentication/concrete directory, but not from within my theme package directory.

<?php foreach ($activeAuths as $auth): ?>
    <div data-handle="<?= $auth->getAuthenticationTypeHandle(); ?>" class="authentication-type authentication-type-<?= $auth->getAuthenticationTypeHandle(); ?>">
        <?php $auth->renderForm($authTypeElement ?: 'form', $authTypeParams ?: array()); ?>
    </div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

If I try to load another form (by replacing the second parameter in the renderForm method) nothing happens.

Any ideas how to make c5 aware of the override?

Path is the same as in the /application directory: /packages/package_handle/authentication/concrete — Jakob Fuchs
If you mean $activeAuths, that's the array containing all authentication types that are used on the site — Jakob Fuchs

You can't. I have developed a package that needed to do that and it can't be overridden from a package. You have to do it from the application directory.

My package has an "install" option that copies the modified form from the package's directory to the application one.
