Dovecot prefixes password hashes with the password scheme, e.g. {PLAIN}foo for a plaintext password or {BLF-CRYPT}$2y$05$... for a bcrypt password.

If no prefix is specified in a password hash, the default_pass_scheme setting will be used as default.

While this prefix is not necessary, it would be nice to support both reading and writing it. (Currently passwords hashed by dovecot will be shown as "[Not hashed / unknown hash algorithm]" in the web interface.)
