Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1606:
------------------------------------------

Well logs are just exposing the fact that we pass the plaintext password to the 
replication. Which is the real issue. Instead we the replicator should only 
keep a token and use it to dialog with local and remote node. But the plaintext 
password should never be kept around.

Though the authentication module should probably have the flag set for crash 
logs.
