You can define password `"identifier": true` in the schema, but then in the Authentication section, you can also disable Enable password authentication. Really confusing.  Which one takes precedence?

The value in the schema only defines what the password identifier is (e.g. `traits.email` or `traits.username`), whereas the value under authentication determines whether passwords should be enabled at all. It really is two different things, as schemas are bound to the users (or rather users to the schema), and the other is a global setting.
