Request Password Authentication

I am trying to understand how the authenticator.requestpasswordauthenticaion() method works. This method is part of the class Authenticator. It says in the official documentation that "it asks the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password".
What is this authenticator that has been registered with the system? and where is the password actually stored? Where does the method get the password from?
