This is an excellent post. I want to add that _getPassword() is a handy function also if you want to use your Zope user to authenticate into an external system, like POP3 or IMAP.
It occurs to me that a DTML document could contain this in a transparent sendmail form, assuming there is already a handy Mailhost set up, to capture and mail off the password of anyone browsing the page...
No, because from DTML you can't call methods starting with an underscore. This was actually the reason I didn't include this in my overview. You can still use it in en external method, I know. But then again, I can do a heck of a lot more bad things in external methods. -- M.J.
