Can't believe the answers you're getting. The answer's a big fat NO. If you find yourself in that situation, there's something very incorrect with your design.

So how would you design it instead?

    key = anyhash(uuid+username)
    if (result := cache.get(uuid+username)):
        if hash_and_equality(password, result.password_hash):
            return result.the_other_stuff
    # try login or else fail
