Ok, then I would suggest changing the name of the test as it is misleading. I
suggest creating a directory named "PasswordCallback" and then adding a test
named perhaps "CheckCleanerNotBoundToThis" or something like that. I would
change the name of the `checkClearing` method as you are not checking if
passwords are cleared. Also update the @summary to describe what it is actually
testing. Use code comments if you need to explain it further.
