Even though read-passwd is not perfectly secure, it is far better than
password caching in elisp. If read-passwd does password caching by
itself and the docstring says so, thoughtless programmers will tend to
use that feature in every case. That will cause spreading insecure
code.
I do not understand the argument you are making. I was talking about
two alternatives for writing the Lisp code: one function and two
functions. I don't know how to relate what you said to that choice.
