PassWd only - Password only login

The module PassWd only provides a password only login form. Often authentification with username and password is too heavyweight and complicated. Often it is sufficient to protect some content of a drupal installation with a single password.

How the module works

PassWd only does not bypass the standard Drupal authentication system. The module needs one regular Drupal user account for its authentication. The login form of PassWd only module is very similar to the normal Drupal login form except one difference: The PassWd only login form transfers the username by a hidden input form field, instead of a textfield.

Installation and setup

First you install the module, you have to select one Drupal user account. The password you set for this user is the login password in the PassWd only login form.

User protect

If you want to share the login password with several people, you have to ensure, that this password never be changed. To accomplish this install the User protect module. You must make the username, password and the email unchangeable.

Caution

A user, who uses the PassWd only login form, has the same rights and privileges as a user who logged in with the normal login form. You should only use this module if you know what you do. Never use the root user (User id 1) with this module.

Module integration

The PassWd only module integrates with the module LoginToboggan.
