Kirby password policy plugin
============================

[](#kirby-password-policy-plugin)

A small kirby plugin to enforce a password policy on user creation or password change

Install
-------

[](#install)

- Copy plugin folder into `site/plugins` or
- `composer require visionbites/password-policy`

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

By default, the plugin enforces a password length of 12 characters with at least one number and one symbol out of `!@#$%^&*`. To change this you can set the used regex in your config.

That could look like this to require 16 characters:

```
'visionbites.password-policy.password_regex' => '/^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#$%^&*])[A-Za-z\d!@#$%^&*]{16,}$/'
```

In that case you should adapt the error messages for the different languages:

```
// in site/languages/de.php

return [
  'translations' => [
    'visionbites.password-policy.error-message' => 'Das Passwort muss mindestens 16 Zeichen lang sein und eine Zahl und ein Sonderzeichen enthalten.',
  ]
];
```

Options
-------

[](#options)

there is really only one option at the moment:

OptionDefaultDescription`password_regex``/^(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[!@#$%^&*])[A-Za-z\d!@#$%^&*]{12,}$/`the default regex to compare new passwords againstTodos
-----

[](#todos)

- adapt the password change dialog to reflect the requirements
