<p>This class stores passwords in plaintext. This is, of course, ridiculously insecure;
it is provided for backwards compatibility when migrating
existing applications. <em>It should not be used</em> for any other purpose.
This class should always be the last algorithm checked, as it will recognize all hashes.
It can be used directly as follows:</p>
