I don't understand the change, and we need (at least) more in-code documentation to explain to users why they have to pass a username, password, mechanism and response.

* @param response

Login(const char *user, const char *password, const char *mechanism, const char *response)
: _user(user), _password(password), _mechanism(mechanism), _response(response) {}

Can you add more in-code documentation? I don't understand the use case where it is up to the caller to supply a username, password, mechanism and response. What sort of values is one supposed to pass here?

Login mylogin("my-username", "my-password", "my-special-login-mechanism", "bla bla bla");

Is this permitted?
