This Pluggable Authentication Service (PAS) plugin adds a password policy giving the possibility to define up to 5 regular expressions to validate a password. Default constrains are length, capital and lower letters, number and special characters.

Project description

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
