I understand that you mean, that it'd be easy to present the
credentials if the dissector is able to extract/derive the password.
If the protocol is cryptographically secure, then without keys, the
change in question won't have any impact, right?

In other words, it is not about integrating some password cracking
mechanism but rather API to simply present the decoded information?
