Comment:

 Webservice login was designed to allow login with accesskey.
 1. To avoid user-password being exposed at other application.
 2. To let the API operation continue regardless of password changes.

 Having login with password is good idea, but would defeat the above
 purpose.

 Also, with two different login approaches it becomes hard to keep the API
 well-defined.
 We will review this enhancement later point of time.

 Regards,
 Prasad
