Either way the framework shouldn't throw an unhandled exception when the
user doesn't have a password.  There is the question of whether the
application should assume database integrity or not.  The framework should
disallow the login if a password isn't available.  Although many systems
allow null passwords.  It seems authentication should be a policy of the
application not the framework, but stabilizing the framework is more
important than adding features at this point.
