This is more like the behavior of the old AuthBrute mixin, where a scanner module was expected to return :next_user in the block given to each_user_pass when it successfully authenticated. The advantage is a reduced number of attempts that are very unlikely to be successful since we already know the password. However, note that since we don't compare realms, this will cause a false negative in the rare case where the same username exists with different realms on the same service. MSP-10686
