Comment:
I re-read Mar's suggestion to only have the helper encapsulate the
password hashing and not fetching, and her point makes sense, so I don't
have any changes to request.
Maybe at most we want to change a docstring to not reference
inactive/active users, but otherwise this should be good to go.
