This module allows administrators to force users, by role, individual user, or newly created user, to change their
password on their next page load or login, and/or expire their passwords after a period of time.
Installation
- Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions.
Features
- Ability to force all users in a role to change their password
- Ability to force individual users to reset their password from their profile edit page (user/[UID]/edit)
- Ability to set an expiry on passwords so that if users haven't changed their password within that time period, they will be required to do so
- Ability to force all new users to change their password on first-time login (site-wide setting for all new users)
- Ability for admins to force individual users to change their password on first time login when creating a new user. (Note: If the global setting forcing all new users to reset their password is enabled on the module settings page, this checkbox will not appear as it is redundant)
- Listing of stats on the user edit page (user/[UID]/edit) showing:
- Whether the user has a pending forced password change
- When the user last had their password forced to be changed
- When the user last changed their password
- Status page for each role showing:
- Password change details by user
- The last time at which the role was forced to change the password
- A form to force the password change for all users in that role
If your site become inaccessible for some reason, add the following line of
code to settings.php to disable the module functionality.
$conf['force_password_change_module_enabled'] = FALSE;
Save the file, fix your problems, then remove the line of code above.
If you don't remove this line of code, the module does nothing and is essentially useless.
