I encapsulate a username and a hashed password.
This credential is used when a hashed password is received from the party requesting authentication. CredentialCheckers which check this kind of credential must store the passwords in plaintext (or as password-equivalent hashes) form so that they can be hashed in a manner appropriate for the particular credentials class.| Instance Variables | username | The username associated with these credentials.
(type: str

| Method | checkPassword | Validate these credentials against the correct password. |
| Parameters | password | The correct, plaintext password against which to check.
(type: str
) |
| Returns | True if the credentials represented by this object match
the given password, False if they do not, or a
Deferred which will be called back with one of these
values.
