public void clearCredential()

Implements abstract javax.security.enterprise.credential.AbstractClearableCredential.clearCredential.

Doc from javax.security.enterprise.credential.AbstractClearableCredential.clearCredential.

Invokes the specific subclass to securely clear the credential value. Some Credential subclasses contain credential values which are inherently secure, such as tokens, for which clearing the credential may not be necessary.

For example, if the credential includes a password, this method would overwrite the password value.
