> This commit is some code I can easily roll back that demonstrates the work to instrument the password validators with success and
failure
> counters. It includes some of the features we talked about Friday:
> 
> - the instrumented code calls a method we implement to obtain the Counter, not a Metrics API directly
> - the code I supplied returns either a real Counter or a DisabledCounter conditionally based on logging category
> - the metric is reported only if the logging category allows it
> - the logging category can change at runtime, turning the metric on and off

FWIW  I'd say that this hangs together pretty well and you and Tom addressed the only question I had.  I like what it's doing and
I'd say the disruption is pretty minimal.
