You trimmed context, but if the variable does not exist in the environment then you return FALSE from the password_get() function --- that is, you say "I couldn't find a password" and the providers system moves on to try the next provider. So, either I'm in dire need of coffee, or yes there is a problem if the variable does not exist.
