class - Class implementing password provider interface. The class must extend the org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.provider.PasswordProvider class.
priority - The integer number 0 to 10 describing priority of this password provider, with 0 being the lowest priority. Newly created secure preferences will use the password provider with the highest priority. If multiple providers have the same priority, an arbitrary provider among them will be selected.

Examples:


   <extension
         id="custom"
         point="org.eclipse.equinox.security.secureStorage">
      <provider
            class="com.xyz.PasswordProvider"
            priority="7">
      </provider>
   </extension>

Supplied Implementation:

The org.eclipse.equinox.security.ui bundle supplies default password provider that prompts user to enter the password.

The org.eclipse.equinox.security.win32.x86 fragment provides Windows OS integration.
