Sven Meier commented on WICKET-6912:
------------------------------------
I don't see how we can remove the string password completely since it has is
origin in the web container.
If you're concerned about this, maybe BasicAuthenticator might be a solution:

> According to the [Java Cryptography Architecture Reference
> Guide|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/crypto/CryptoSpec.html#PBEEx],
> passwords should not be stored in {{java.lang.String}} Objects. Wicket's
> {{PasswordTextField}} however uses {{String}} Models, which can be a security
> vulnerability.
