MosPasswort, a secure password plugin for Joomla websites


As usual, I had a client with a very specific request for their website Joomla: had some forms on their website that would not accessible to the public in General. Also, they didn't want their customers to sign up. Instead, they preferred to have a password to protect these forms. If they wanted a client to access the shapes, they would send the password to the client. I did a Google search and found MosPasswort Plugin for Joomla.

MosPasswort, a Joomla plugin, allows to password protect content elements of Joomla. Once installed the plugin, simply enter {password} in any page of Joomla you want to protect with a password. Then, when a user attempts to access a password-protected page, are presented with a screen of password.It is not necessary for the user to register or login. they just need to enter the correct password.

Why can't I simply use the default Joomla registered user function to protect a page?Good question ... of course you can use the protection of the default page of Joomla by forcing a user to register and login before viewing pages. But many users don't like to register or login.

The plugin Joomla MosPasswort lets you define a password for certain pages.Once you have set a security password for a page, the user simply enters the correct password to display the secure page.

This method can be very useful when you want the pages you want to protect from the audience. send the password to your customers and can access the page. no need to mess with registration and login. as long as it's not necessary to collect user data, this method is much faster and easier for the user.

This is a nice plugin Joomla, and it does exactly what it was designed to do.

Note: requires php5 on your Web server or you must make a small change to the file passwort .php.
