get_password(self, username, acceptable_formats, properties)

Get the password for user authentication.

By default returns (None, None) providing no password. Should be overridden in derived classes unless only check_password functionality is available.

Parameters:

username - the username for which the password is requested.
acceptable_formats - a sequence of acceptable formats of the password data. Could be "plain" (plain text password), "md5:user:realm:password" (MD5 hex digest of user:realm:password) or any other mechanism-specific encoding. This allows non-plain-text storage of passwords. But only "plain" format will work with all password authentication mechanisms.
properties - mapping with authentication properties (those provided to the authenticator's start() method plus some already obtained via the mechanism).

Returns: unicode,`unicode` tuple.

the password and its encoding (format).
