Because it is a PASSWORD hash, not an authentication mechanism.

Okay, that make sense. Perhaps, a note about that somewhere might prove useful.

Where on the wiki would you suggest that be put?

I think that what was confusing, at least for me, is that the "doveadm-pw" man page says:

-l List all supported password schemes and exit successfully. There are up to three optional password schemes: BLF-CRYPT Blowfish crypt), SHA256-CRYPT and SHA512-CRYPT. Their availability depends on the system's currently used libc.

I had assumed, obviously incorrectly, that I had to enter the scheme into the dovecot conf file as indicated earlier.

Perhaps, for people like me that are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, a notation to that affect might prove useful.

Just my 2 ￠.
