It is now possible to get credential information (passwords, etc.) back from 
the Auth framework (I finally gave in to reality. Still want to encrypt them 
somehow, but I'll work on that later; at least it's session storage). I'll work 
on Horde apps being able to use this information more later. Thoughts are 
appreciated, too.
