PasswordStrength

This plugin works with Plone to allow an administrator to create a password policy for their site. Once installed it provides a Pluggable Authentication Service (PAS) plugin where you can create as many regular expressions rules which will each be applied against passwords during user registration. For example these rules can ensure a passwords strength such as minimum length and required letters or special characters.

Tests

This package is tested using Travis CI on Plone 5.2 and 6.0. For older

Requires

• PlonePAS and its dependencies
• Plone 5.2 or 6.0
• For Plone 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 , 5.0 and 5.1 use Versions <> 0.5 or source-checkouts.

Installation

1. Add Products.PasswordStrength to your buildout like any other Plone plugin.
2. Add Products.PasswordStrength in the addon-controlpanel (prefs_install_products_form)
3. You can configure the plugin in teh ZMI in /acl_users/password_strength_plugin/manage_propertiesForm

That's it! Test it out.

Implementation

A PAS plugin for Validation checks the password against each regular expression listed in the properties. Any rules that fail result in the associated error messages being returned.

TODO

1. Do password expiration?
