I mean a large number of cases. Your change affects all cases where no password could be obtained. It could be: other authentication methods, it should be non-interactive connections like biff and others, it could be the user pressing Cancel on the login prompt, it would be error situations, and many others. You cannot just presume that this is just your case here.
