Empty password not allowed?

[nstepp]

In 4bedb0f, the ability to have empty passwords was disabled.

There is at least a use case with Nextcloud, when using public shares. In that case, the username is the share token, and the password is empty.

Was this change required by a standard or other constraint? If not, could it be reverted?

I struck the same problem with a public share, however, it seems the server will just ignore the password value if you're passing the public share token as the username, so you can set the password to anything you like.
