I’m sorry I didn’t find a detailed documentation of getUserInfo function and 
thus I’m not quite familiar with it. So given the username, getUserInfo should 
return the password wrapped in UserInfo class. And then login function would 
use that information to compare with the input password, which has already been 
handled with the current code. Am I getting it right?
