>
> Sensitive data (such as passwords) stored in memory can be leaked if memory
> is not cleared after use. Often, Strings are used store sensitive data,
> however, since String objects are immutable, removing the value of a String
> from memory can only be done by the JVM garbage collector. The garbage
> collector is not required to run unless the JVM is low on memory, so there is
> no guarantee as to when garbage collection will take place. In the event of
> an application crash, a memory dump of the application might reveal sensitive
> data.
> Approach used in QPID-8583 should be applied to class ManagedUser.
