Vincent,
Thanks for a good question I was wondering whether it could be done on
Owl too (however, I haven't investigated the issue for real).

Gremlin, I know at least a couple of techniques how to perform this check
without storing the plain text version of password, so you might be wrong
in your claims. JFYI.
I'd like to see Solar's opinion on this. I think that although it's
a little bit complicated since we need to store some additional metadata
