That patch doesn't deal with the main password-related issues which in 
my mind is what's needed to make it more valuable than simple 
auto-completion for the name parts. Your own comments near the bottom of 
that task begin to get into some detail on this key issue. I don't have 
any opinion on where munged passwords should be stored, but not 
including password support would seem to me to make it only useful to 
users who use the same password for most or all accounts.
