“Its not stated here what the password
field is used for, or why it is
required. I was told by an Adobe
employee at CFUnited 2008 that it was
used to recreate the login in
clustered environments. An explanation
of this process might be useful.”

Password is used for the base64 string
see: CFLogin Security Considerations
But why is the password needed for the base64 string? I don’t know…
