Just a thought though, as you have to store the password in the form

would it not be better to have an 'extra' field that could override
default_pass scheme
if it existed instead?

{CRAM-MD5}xxxxxxxxx to actually get that and not the default_pass_sheme

The {scheme}pass works with all passdbs, some of which don't have the possibility of storing the scheme elsewhere. But of course this could be done for SQL and others where it's possible, would just require more code..

That way it would also be possible to have plaintext passwords
with {} in them and not have to sanitize that.

For that it's possible to:

a) Use password_noscheme field (requires default_pass_scheme to be PLAIN then) b) Use the {plain} prefix - after that you're free to use { and } characters in the password.
