/**
* An <tt>Account</tt> is a convenience interface that extends both {@link AuthenticationInfo} and
* {@link AuthorizationInfo} and represents authentication and authorization for a <em>single account</em> in a
* <em>single Realm</em>.
* <p/>
* This interface can be useful when a Realm implementation finds it more convenient to use a single object to
* encapsulate both the authentication and authorization information used by both authc and authz operations.
* <p/>
* <b>Please Note</b>: Since Shiro sometimes logs account operations, please ensure your Account's <code>toString()</code>
* implementation does <em>not</em> print out account credentials (password, etc), as these might be viewable to
* someone reading your logs. This is good practice anyway, and account principals should rarely (if ever) be printed
* out for any reason. If you're using Shiro's default implementations of this interface, they only ever print the
* account {@link #getPrincipals() principals}, so you do not need to do anything additional.
*
* @see SimpleAccount
