Right but I guess to me "password management" and "authentication" are two entirely separate concepts (i.e. authorization vs authentication being separate English words).
I can authorize someone to do something. I authenticate that a person is who he or she claims to be.

The combo username password authenticate the person as much as it authorize them to access the service.
Different meaning but connected nonetheless.
