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'?
