Contact Us Forum Support Area for Unregistered Users & Account Problems Password sent via reset password email is 'weak' and won't allow me to change my password Post 303042128 by Neo on Monday 16th of December 2019 02:26:29 AM

Yes, that is correct.

We are not yet enforcing the PW rule that all users much have strong passwords at this time (so I thought) and only providing a status message.

Glad to see you are logged in now.

However, you can easily change your password to a stronger password if you wish, as I recall.

No one else has reported a problem in the last year, but that does not mean there are no bugs to squash. In fact, it sounds like you found a bug where the temporary password generated for users when they have lost their password is "weak" and that "weak generated password" is causing problems?

Do you need me to debug this, or are you OK now?

If you want me to spend time debugging this, I can do it.


Thanks.

Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::UUser3Contributed Perl DocuJifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User(3pm)

NAME
Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User - password plugin user mixin model SYNOPSIS
package MyApp::Model::User; use Jifty::DBI::Schema; use MyApp::Record schema { # custom column definitions }; use Jifty::Plugin::User::Mixin::Model::User; # name, email, email_confirmed use Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Mixin::Model::User; # ^^ password, auth_token DESCRIPTION
This mixin model is added to the application's account model for use with the password authentication plugin. This mixin should be used in combination with Jifty::Plugin::User::Mixin::Model::User. SCHEMA
This mixin adds the following columns to the model schema: auth_token This is a unique identifier used when confirming a user's email account and recovering a lost password. password This is the user's password. It will be stored in the database after being processed through Digest::MD5, so the password cannot be directly recovered from the database. METHODS
register_triggers Adds the triggers to the model this mixin is added to. password_is PASSWORD Checks if the user's password matches the provided PASSWORD. hashed_password_is HASH TOKEN Check if the given HASH is the result of hashing our (already salted and hashed) password with TOKEN. This can be used in cases where the pre-hashed password is sent during login as an additional security precaution (such as could be done via Javascript). validate_password Makes sure that the password is six characters long or longer, unless we have alternative means to authenticate. after_create This trigger is added to the account model. It automatically sends a notification email to the user for password confirmation. See Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password::Notification::ConfirmEmail. has_alternative_auth If your model supports other means of authentication, you should have this method return true, so the "password" field can optionally be null and authentication with password is disabled in that case. after_set_password Regenerate authentication tokens on password change regenerate_auth_token Generate a new auth_token for this user. This will invalidate any existing feed URLs. SEE ALSO
