Hi All,

Following recent removal of support to store password in plain text, modified the code to 

1. Remove  "PASSWORD_TYPE_PLAINTEXT" macro
2. Instead of using "get_password_type" to retrieve the encryption method AND to check if the password is already encrypted or not, modified the code to 
a. Use "get_password_encryption_type" function to retrieve encryption method. 
b. Use "isPasswordEncrypted" function to check if the password is already encrypted or not. 

These changes are mainly to increase code readability and does not change underlying functionality.

Attached the patch for community's review.


Thanks & Regards,
Vaishnavi,
