I don't really see what the secret could be used for other than as a salt. What did you have in mind?

    uhh, a password. You know, like in: 
    login: thor
password: <-- the secret goes here

      The whole point of this exercise was to say that using only the password and something that is easily derived from the user (i.e. username) can lead to attacks. So, unless I'm missing something, the password is not sufficiently secret.
