Catalyst::Authentication::Credential::Password::authenticate doesn't do that, but that's not the method that $c->authenticate calls. $c->authenticate does the same thing that $c->login does. (Actually $c->login doesn't *have* to do anything; it was all very ad-hoc. The new authentication separates the various concerns and ensures that Credentials only verify credentials.)
