Just a correction here, though some may disagree with my wording. There
are two repositories, as you said, but one contains encryptions key
(AuthMaster) and the other contains relevant encrypted data about the
person (DataBank): username/password information is stored in the
DataBank, but the data is useless (strongly encrypted) without the keys
held in the AuthMaster.
