The password library also doesn’t really need (or at least want) to use memory.

The convert to Bytes we have is only in there because benchmarks showed it is slightly more performant and if we’re depending on memory already (because of crypton(ite)), then why not.
The one we DO want/need is the constEq for security reasons. Though I feel that is something that could also just be added to the bytestring library. Then we’d use that one.
