[QUESTION] Referencing parts of an existing password

Open WebworkrNet opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Version 1.10

One of my web hosters requires additional authentication in certain situations when communicating by e-mail, especially for chargeable orders, if the request is not made via the contact form in the login area. To do this, it uses the last 4 digits of a password from one of its login areas, which it saves separately. If the login password changes, the password for authorization changes accordingly.

To access the last 4 digits of the login password, the entire password can be copied and only the last digits used, which is user-unfriendly, or the 4 digits of the password can be saved separately again, which entails the risk of inconsistencies because 2 entries then have to be kept up to date manually.

Currently, this scenario cannot be mapped using references and placeholders, if I understand correctly, right?
