22   * Simple PasswordProvider implementation that keeps the password char[] array in memory.
23   * <p>
24   * This implementation is not very secure because the password data is resident in memory during the life of this
25   * provider object, giving attackers a large window of opportunity to obtain the password from a memory dump.
26   * A slightly more secure implementation is {@link EnvironmentPasswordProvider},
27   * and an even more secure implementation is {@link FilePasswordProvider}.
