Hi Robbie,

I of course get your point. But the problem I am having with this set up is
that my password database can never return a password (yeah it sounds crazy
;-)). Basically my password database implementation talks to a user manager
which can only say if a user is authenticated or not only. It never exposes
the passwords. Thats why I wanted to have the authentication result in the
password callback initially and then a new callback for authentication in
the new model that you have been suggesting.

Thanks,
Danushka
