The info array hold several general config and global prefs items as well as 
some
general objects and it kept in the session.  $GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['user']
['passwd'] holds the password the user logged in with, it's commonly used to 
login
to an email server and any other external system that requires the password in
plain text.
