              <div>This is a separate mechanism for storing secrets, not
                necessarily passwords (although I agree the term
                credentials automatically makes people assume
                passwords). This is used if consuming keystone's native
                MFA implementation. For example, storing a shared secret
                between the user and keystone that is provided as a
                additional authentication method along with a username
                and password combination.</div>

        <p>Is there any interest or plans to potentially allow
          Keystone's credential store to use Barbican as a storage
          provider? Encryption already is better than nothing, but if
          you already have (or will be deploying) a proper secret store
          with a hardware backend (or at least hardware stored
          encryption keys) then it might make sense to throw that in
          Barbican.<br>
          <br>
          Or is this also too much of a chicken/egg problem? How safe is
          it to rely on Barbican availability for MFA secrets and auth?<br>
