[Galene] Thoughts on global user passwords

Hello,
 
I've been experimenting with Galene recently, and really like it so far! Except for the part where you potentially have to create the same "op" user accounts in a bunch of groups, each with their own but identical password. (At least that's my understanding of the current system.)
 
I was wondering what you think about adding the ability to store usernames/passwords for regular users in the "users" map of "data/config.json"? Galene could use these for password authentication when a user has permissions for a particular group, but no group-specific password.
 
There's a thread called "User management" from 2021 in the archives which discussed similar ideas, but for my use case I would ideally like to work without any additional tools or services.
 
Kind regards,
Alexander
