I'm wondering if it's such a bright idea to use a NULL password based on
a check for a certain domain. That's practically guaranteed to break
at one point again.
Is it worth at all to support empty passwords? If not, we could always
use NULL if !pass || pass[0] == '\0'.
Or, alternatively, what about something like `-w NULL'?
