<div class="block"><code>AuthenticationInfo</code> represents a Subject's (aka user's) stored account information relevant to the
authentication/log-in process only.
<p/>
It is important to understand the difference between this interface and the
<a href="AuthenticationToken.html" title="interface in org.apache.shiro.authc"><code>AuthenticationToken</code></a> interface. <code>AuthenticationInfo</code> implementations
represent already-verified and stored account data, whereas an <code>AuthenticationToken</code> represents data
submitted for any given login attempt (which may or may not successfully match the verified and stored account
<code>AuthenticationInfo</code>).
<p/>
Because the act of authentication (log-in) is orthogonal to authorization (access control), this interface is
intended to represent only the account data needed by Shiro during an authentication attempt. Shiro also
has a parallel <a href="../authz/AuthorizationInfo.html" title="interface in org.apache.shiro.authz"><code>AuthorizationInfo</code></a> interface for use during the
authorization process that references access control data such as roles and permissions.
<p/>
But because many if not most <a href="../realm/Realm.html" title="interface in org.apache.shiro.realm"><code>Realm</code></a>s store both sets of data for a Subject, it might be
convenient for a <code>Realm</code> implementation to utilize an implementation of the <a href="Account.html" title="interface in org.apache.shiro.authc"><code>Account</code></a>
interface instead, which is a convenience interface that combines both <code>AuthenticationInfo</code> and
<code>AuthorizationInfo</code>. Whether you choose to implement these two interfaces separately or implement the one
<code>Account</code> interface for a given <code>Realm</code> is entirely based on your application's needs or your
preferences.
<p/>
<p><b>Please note:</b> Since Shiro sometimes logs authentication operations, please ensure your AuthenticationInfo's
<code>toString()</code> implementation does <em>not</em> print out account credentials (password, etc), as these might be viewable to
someone reading your logs. This is good practice anyway, and account credentials should rarely (if ever) be printed
out for any reason. If you're using Shiro's default implementations of this interface, they only ever print the
account <a href="#getPrincipals()"><code>principals</code></a>, so you do not need to do anything additional.</p></div>
