Almican Password

Descripció

Standard password enforcement plugins typically rely on increasing the length or complexity of Latin-based alphanumeric characters. Almican Password introduces a multi-script verification approach (a cultural firewall concept) that allows administrators to enforce the inclusion of regional scripts such as Japanese Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana, or Thai characters.

By requiring users to interleave half-width alphanumeric characters within a natural full-width script phrase (e.g., “今日、牛乳2本買ってきて（＾＾）/”), the plugin expands the character space and helps mitigate standard dictionary attacks and basic automated scripts that primarily target Western character patterns.

Configuration

Upon activation, the plugin works with default settings from scratch. Administrators can customize requirements via the settings page:

• Character Script Requirements: Toggle specific multi-script checkboxes (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana, Thai) that users must include in their passwords.
• Interleaved Validation: The system automatically requires a mix of the enabled script characters and standard half-width alphanumeric characters.
• Minimum Length: Adjust the minimum character length required for user passwords (default is 12).
