Re-enable the ability to store plaintext passwords
There are valid use cases where having to use a non-plaintext store is
not practical, so outright disabling the functionality does more harm
than good.
Re-enabling this capability does not make it the default, rather just
provides functionality that had existed for decades prior.
Upstream has also discussed this[0] and are looking into[1] re-enabling
the functionality along with some additional UX to help manage the
credentials.

Closes: #995692
