> Apart from the constant {{AuthConstants.AUTH_REQUIREMENTS}} there is no public API available that allowed applications to change the list of authentication requirement entries.
> Instead, applications need to know and rely on implementation details, which not only includes registering services with the  {{AuthConstants.AUTH_REQUIREMENTS}} property included but also know about the required format of the property, which from my point of view should be and remain an implementation detail of {{org.apache.sling.auth.core.impl.SlingAuthenticator}}, which IMO should not be considered public API.
> To me it would feel more natural if there existed a {{AuthenticationRequirement}} interface defining methods to extend/update/clear the auth-requirements bound to a particular service reference and having {{org.apache.sling.auth.core.impl.SlingAuthenticator}} implementing that interface.
> Doing so, might also be beneficial from a performance/scalability POV but I would like to cover that in a separate sub-task.
> Proposal for this sub-tasks will follow as I am moving forward.
