I guess what you actually want is a function 'checkpassword', or perhaps
more genericly 'checkCredentials'. This is essentially what a login
does, the only difference being that a login would throw an exception on
failure. Well in your tag you could probably just catch it..

Perhaps an attribute on the cloud-tag would be nicer (onfail="skip"),
because the provisioning of the credentials is done the same then, and I
think the functionality is available genericly then, also for other
security implementations.

If I were you, I would for the moment simply stick with md5 and perhaps
issue a wish in our bugtracker.
