There are two passwords for your account, the main password which works on the website and in the client, and the PPTP/IPSec password.
OpenVPN uses an encrypted password so the main password to your account is never exposed. PPTP and IPSec both send a unencrypted password inplaintext so we force them to use a different password to protect the integrity of your account.
