Force Save or Audit for Generated Passwords
D
Dominic Peterson
Objective:
Enhance password management within Hudu by ensuring that generated passwords
are not lost if a user navigates away from a page before saving.
Feature Overview:
- Force Save Option:
- Automatically save the generated password when it is created, even if the user navigates away from the page without explicitly saving.
- This ensures no generated password is accidentally lost.
OR:
- Password Audit Before Navigation:
- Implement a warning or prompt if a user attempts to navigate away from the page after generating a password but before saving it.
- The prompt would ask:
"You have generated a password that hasn’t been saved. Would you like to save it before leaving?"
Additional helpful things:
- Password Activity Logging:
- Log events when passwords are generated for better traceability and auditing.
- Include metadata such as the user who generated the password and the timestamp.
Why This Matters:
- Prevents accidental loss of generated passwords.
- Enhances security and accountability with audit trails.
- Improves user experience by reducing the risk of missed saves.
Potential Configuration Options:
- Toggle Force Save: Enable/disable automatic saving for generated passwords.
- Navigation Prompt: Option to enable/disable the “Save Before Leaving” prompt.
- Audit Logging: Ability to review generated password logs in the admin panel.
Outcome:
This feature would help users avoid losing critical data and improve password management workflows within Hudu.
