In Dovecot docs (https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/
authentication/caching/) we see:

   1. User logs in with password Y. The cached password X doesn’t match Y and
      the previous authentication was unsuccessful, so Dovecot doesn’t bother
      doing another backend passdb lookup (until cache TTL expires). The login
      fails.
Anyone knows why they chose this design ? Why not simply do a passdb lookup
instead of waiting for cache TTL to expire ?
