I can can think of a dozen reason why you might want to override the
Authenticator on a *existing* application, i.e. use of Plugin. It is actually
quite difficult to design an Authenticator which fits everyone's taste. For
example imagine you are on a site where you have an alternative way that you
can obtain credentials.
