 In case password turns out to be incorrect (either because it was
 invalid, or because it was changed on the server) or missing it just
 prompts the user again.
 
+Passwords are identified by the combination of username and remote
+repository url (for HTTP) or username and smtp server address (for
+SMTP), so they can be reused between repositories if they access
