/**
* This {@link PasswordEncoder} is provided for legacy purposes only and is not considered secure.
*
* Encodes passwords using MD4.
* Encodes passwords using MD4. The general format of the password is:
*
* <pre>
* s = salt == null ? "" : "{" + salt + "}"
* s + md4(password + s)
* </pre>
*
* Such that "salt" is the salt, md4 is the digest method, and password is the actual
* password. For example with a password of "password", and a salt of
* "thisissalt":
*
* <pre>
* String s = salt == null ? "" : "{" + salt + "}";
* s + md4(password + s)
* "{thisissalt}" + md4(password + "{thisissalt}")
* "{thisissalt}6cc7924dad12ade79dfb99e424f25260"
* </pre>
*
* If the salt does not exist, then omit "{salt}" like this:
*
* <pre>
* md4(password)
* </pre>
*
* If the salt is an empty String, then only use "{}" like this:
*
* <pre>
* "{}" + md4(password + "{}")
* </pre>
*
* The format is intended to work with the Md4PasswordEncoder that was found in the
* Spring Security core module. However, the passwords will need to be migrated to include
* any salt with the password since this API provides Salt internally vs making it the
* responsibility of the user. To migrate passwords from the SaltSource use the following:
*
* <pre>
* String salt = saltSource.getSalt(user);
* String s = salt == null ? null : "{" + salt + "}";
* String migratedPassword = s + user.getPassword();
* </pre>

* SCryptPasswordEncoder. Even better use {@link DelegatingPasswordEncoder} which supports
