Enhance the security of your website by managing the passwords expiry date and the suspension of inactive accounts
Remind me to change my password is the perfect plugin if you have to handle certain security requirements on your websites. Some fields of activity happen to require a frequent update of passwords. If this is you, this plugin will be of valuable help!
With the Remind me to change my password plugin, you can easily:
- set up the passwords period of validity
- set up a delay before the password has to be updated, once the expiry date is reached.
- define the roles this rule applies to
- automatically suspend the accounts that exceeded the delay for password update
- delete or reactivate a suspended account.
Some little extras:
A
privileged account: in order to avoid losing access to the website, an admin account is appointed as impossible to suspend. This way, there will always be someone able to reactivate the suspended accounts. This account will not be submitted to the set up rule.
A nice and simple visibility in your back-office: you can set up a highlight color. It will help you visualize, at a glance to your users list, if some of them have reached their expiry date and need to update their password shortly.
The plugin set up interface is placed under the “Users” menu of your website, as this is where you manage the users and their passwords. The plugin sets up both an access to the basic parameters management screen (validity period, delays, etc), and to a suspended accounts management screen.
