I've just discussed this with Mat, and realized I didn't explain
properly why I think this should be left until after 9.10.

I don't think this is worth a user interface freeze exception, really.
How does this work for an authentication method that does not use
passwords, e.g. a fingerprint reader? It would be a bit silly to say
