Passwords Evolved
Important Notice: This plugin is no longer supported on wordpress.org. Please open issues on GitHub. The goal of this plugin is to shore up the WordPress authentication using standard security practice recommendations. At this time, the plugin improves WordPress authentication by doing the following: Enforcing uncompromised passwords This plugin prevents someone from using passwords that have appeared in data breaches. Whenever someone logs into a WordPress site, it’ll verify their password using the Have I been pwned? API. If their password appeared in a data breach, the plugin will prevent them from logging in until they reset their password. By default, this level of enforcement is only done on an account that has the “administrator” role. You can change which roles have their passwords enforced from the settings page. For people that have a role where there’s no password enforcement, the plugin will show a warning when they log in with a compromised password. The enforcement of uncompromised password also extends to when someone resets or changes their password. That said, in those situations, using an uncompromised password is mandatory. Someone will never be able to reset or change their password to one that’s appeared in a security breach. (As long as the plugin is able to contact the API.) Using stronger password hashing The plugin also encrypts passwords using either the bcrypt and Argon2 hashing functions. These are the strongest hashing functions available in PHP. Argon2 is available natively starting with PHP 7.2, but the plugin can also encrypt passwords on older PHP versions using the libsodium compatibility layer introduced in WordPress 5.2. You don’t have to do anything to convert your password hash to a stronger encryption standard. The plugin will take care of converting it the next time that you log in after installing the plugin. If you decide to remove the plugin, your password will continue working and remain encrypted until you reset it. It’s also worth noting that using a stronger hashing function is only important in the advent of a data breach. A stronger password hashing function makes decrypting the passwords from the data breach a lot harder to do. This combined with the enforcement of uncompromised passwords will help ensure that those passwords are never decrypted. (Or at least without significant effort.)

WP Cassify
If you’re happy with this plugin : As a reward for my efforts, I would like to receive T-shirts (or other goodies) as gifts from the universities or companies that use it. My size is L. Best regards. This Apereo CAS authentication plugin has no phpCas library dependency. This is not only an authentication plugin. You can build custom authorization rules according to cas user attributes populated. If user don’t exist in WordPress database, it can be created automatically. There are many features. You can customize everything. Website https://wpcassify.wordpress.com/ Development and release environment This plugin is now developed and tested from a github repository. You can find it here : https://github.com/WP-Cassify/wp-cassify-develop Don’t hesitate to contribute to this project. You can fork it and make pull requests ! Requirements Require at least PHP version 7.0 Require at least PHP CURL package Features included SLO (Single Log Out) support (thanks to dedotombo and me) Adding NCONTAINS operator (thanks to blandman) Fix bug on Gateway mode (autologin) (thanks to dedotombo again). Now it’s now necessary to hack theme files to fire it. Adding option logout on authentication failure to not disturb users Initialize PHP session at a later stage (on wp_loaded not on init) Adding some customs hooks and filters. Tested with Apereo CAS Server version 7.3.5 Compatible with CAS Protocol version 2 and 3 Automatic user creation if not exist in WordPress database. Synchronize WordPress User metas with CAS User attributes. Add support for multivaluate cas user fields. Now multivaluate fields can be serialized to be stored in custom WP User meta. Backup / Restore plugin configuration options settings You can choose CAS User attributes you want to populate. Then you can access them via PHP Session. Be careful, to access to CAS User Attributes from your theme file (from 1.8.4), use code below : wp_cassify_get_cas_user_datas() ); } ?> Set up WordPress Roles to User according to CAS User attributes. If plugin is network activated, you can define User Role Rule scope by blog id. Authorization rule editor. Compatible with WordPress Access Control Plugin. Manage URL White List to bypass CAS Authentication on certain pages. Much simpler bypass authentication with post method provided by Susan Boland (See online documentation). Create wordpress authentication form with redirect attribute like this (works only if URL bypass is enabled in settings) : true, 'remember' => true, 'redirect' => site_url( '/?wp_cassify_bypass=bypass' ), 'form_id' => 'loginform', 'id_username' => 'user_login', 'id_password' => 'user_pass', 'id_remember' => 'rememberme', 'id_submit' => 'wp-submit', 'label_username' => __( 'Username' ), 'label_password' => __( 'Password' ), 'label_remember' => __( 'Remember Me' ), 'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ), 'value_username' => '', 'value_remember' => false ); wp_login_form( $args ); ?> Receive email notifications when trigger is fired (after user account creation, after user login/logout). Define notifications rules based on user attributes values. Purge user roles before applying user role rules. Define user account expiration rules bases on CAS User attributes. Network activation allowed You can set Service Logout URL (Needs to have CAS Server with followServiceRedirects option configured). Add support for web application hosted behind a reverse proxy. (Thanks to franck86) Add custom hooks : wp_cassify_after_cas_authentication, wp_cassify_before_auth_user_wordpress, wp_cassify_before_redirect, wp_cassify_after_redirect. (See online documentation) Custom filter to perform custom cas server response parsing. Hook name : wp_cassify_custom_parsing_cas_xml_response (See online documentation) Custom shortcode to generate CAS login/logout link into your blog. (See online documentation) Debug settings, dump last xml cas server response. Detect if user has already authenticated by CAS from your public pages and perform auto-login with gateway mode Add ‘-IN’ and ‘-NOTIN’ operators to process array attributes values returned from CAS. When you have : $cas_user_datas['title'] = array( 'Student', 'Professor' ); Then you can use : (CAS{title} -IN "professor")
