1. A method for execution in a storage network, the method comprises:
performing a key derivation function on a first password to produce a key;
issuing a set of second passwords based on the key to a set of storage units, wherein a data object is dispersed error encoded in accordance with dispersed error encoding parameters to produce a set of encoded data slices and wherein the set of encoded data slices are stored in the set of storage units;
receiving a decode threshold number of confidential information responses from the set of storage units;
regenerating a set of keys for the decode threshold number of confidential information responses;
decrypting the confidential information responses using the set of keys to reproduce a set of encoded data slices; and
dispersed storage error decoding the set of encoded data slices to produce recovered data.
