------------------------------------------------------------

To support scenarios where the mechanism generates a digested password, the {{verifyCredential()}} method will require the capability to compare {{Password}} instances to one another for equality.  Since {{equals()}} is not a part of the {{Key}} contract, this means {{PasswordFactory}} will require a {{compare(p1, p2)}} or {{equals(p1, p2)}} method.

> Some realms may not be able to acquire credentials.  These realms will need a verification API (not like the old verification API though).
