Hi all
A couple of years ago, I have made a feature request suggestion on feedback.directadmin.com.
Many hosting providers only allow users to receive a at random generated password when changing or configuring e-mail accounts, ftp accounts, databases,...
This prevents users from choosing a too easy password or a password they already use elsewhere.
By only allowing a randomly generated password, they are unique and strong.
This will greatly improve the security of the server/network.
E-mail accounts are configured fixed into a device, databases are configured into a configuration file, ftp password can be remembered in the ftp client.
DirectAdmin passwords can be remembered in the webbrowser or in a password database.
Today, it is still impossible to use 2factor authentication on e-mail accounts or ftp accounts (or databases).
This is an extra reason why we should prevent users from setting their own passwords.
I would suggest an extra configuration option like this:
require_randomized_passwords=yes
Please give your +1 here:
Kind regards
Dries
