Your original code seems to work fine more-or-less if you just remove the redirection to file descriptor 4 (by doing this you are taking it away from &p) and then use read -p to read the output into a variable, perhaps in a while loop. You can use some logic in the while loop to recognise the line of output you're expecting.
The only problem is... if for some reason it fails to log in, or you don't find the output you're expecting, the while read -p variable loop will block waiting for more input from the pipe, so you'd need some kind of timeout facility (another background process?) to prevent your script running forever.
