Password Expiration Policies
Mod Version: 1.00, by JulianD (Coder) JulianD is offline
Developer Last Online: Jan 2013 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

This modification is in the archives.
vB Version: 2.2.x Rating: (4 votes - 4.50 average) Installs: 16
Released: 17 Nov 2002 Last Update: Never Downloads: 3
Not Supported  

Here's a hack requested here by kreatiV.

What it does?
- The users will be prompted to change their password every XX days (configured using Admin CP)
before browsing the forums. You have the option to store old password in the DB to prevent
users to reuse them.
- You can customize the password expiration date using the Admin CP when editing a user.
Useful if you want to set the password expiration time for a user to NOW.
- Usergroup driven (new in 1.01)

What to do?
- 5 files to edit
- 4 new templates
- 3 queries to run
- 4 new settings in vBulletin Options

New Versión 1.01 (attachment updated):
The script is now Usergroup driven. You can specify what groups to apply the policy in Admin CP > User Groups > Modify > usergroup you want to edit > Password expires.

If you want to upgrade the script, follow the steps at the end of the file.



You can find some screenshots in the next post.

If you have any problem, suggestion, bug report, please post them here.

Enjoy.

Yes, you can use it for that purpose. Personally, I won't use it in my forums, but it might be useful to others

Good hack, but I hope that nobody installs it on any board that I go to. I like having the same password.

What do you guys mean? This is a hack EVERYONE should use! This would help in preventing someone from from stealing users Login info. I used to have a problem where someone would steal a users Nick Name cause they may have registered the same password at another board!

Great job!

It would increase security, but lots and lots of people find this very annoying

Is it possible to modify this to alert certain user groups instead? I would like to assign this for the moderator group...
