A method for supporting a plurality of passwords in a communication network includes (a) receiving a client authentication message generated by a network client wishing to connect to the communication network, (b) computing a respective password authentication message for at least one password of a plurality of passwords stored in a password database to generate a set of one or more password authentication messages, each password of the plurality of passwords being a password for the communication network, (c) identifying a password authentication message of the set of one or more password authentication messages that matches the client authentication message, and (d) associating, with the network client, metadata corresponding to a password of the password database used to compute the password authentication message that matches the client authentication message.
