this is documented in factotum(4) at the top of the section
"Key Tuples". the key relationshop is that
hex := f(password)
where f is passtokey (/sys/src/libauthsrv/passtokey.c). so
hex and password have equivalent functionality.
/sys/src/cmd/auth/factotum/p9sk1.c:/^p9skaddkey
shows how they're used.
