Yes, you're right about that. However, this is not the essence of the problem. The right conclusion here is that the password matching *only* works for passwords consisting of an empty string. In all other cases, the matching fails with a "password mismatch" error as a result. In short, password matching does not work even though the passwords are stored in plain text.
