No need for a widget, just use a shortcut.

Create a Contact named "Voice Mail" (or whatever), the number = *86,,,,<password>

Then long-press on an empty space on one of your homescreens, select Shortcut, then select Direct Dial and then choose "Voice Mail" as your Contact.

I did this and it still asked for my password after dialing. Did I maybe do something wrong?
