Force Save or Audit for Generated Passwords

Objective:

Enhance password management within Hudu by ensuring that generated passwords

are not lost if a user navigates away from a page before saving.

Feature Overview:

  1. Force Save Option:
  • Automatically save the generated password when it is created, even if the user navigates away from the page without explicitly saving.

  • This ensures no generated password is accidentally lost.

OR:

  1. Password Audit Before Navigation:
  • Implement a warning or prompt if a user attempts to navigate away from the page after generating a password but before saving it.

  • The prompt would ask:

"You have generated a password that hasn’t been saved. Would you like to save it before leaving?"

Additional helpful things:

  1. Password Activity Logging:
  • Log events when passwords are generated for better traceability and auditing.

  • Include metadata such as the user who generated the password and the timestamp.

Why This Matters:

  • Prevents accidental loss of generated passwords.

  • Enhances security and accountability with audit trails.

  • Improves user experience by reducing the risk of missed saves.

Potential Configuration Options:

  • Toggle Force Save: Enable/disable automatic saving for generated passwords.

  • Navigation Prompt: Option to enable/disable the “Save Before Leaving” prompt.

  • Audit Logging: Ability to review generated password logs in the admin panel.

Outcome:

This feature would help users avoid losing critical data and improve password management workflows within Hudu.

    I agree fully with this. Bitwarden has a handy feature where it saves any recent passwords you generate so you can easily access them. I have ended up here having reset a firewall password, filled it in Hudu but did not scroll down and click update, and have consequently lost access to the device! Unfortunately I did not realise until my clipboard history had cycled through more than 25 new entries.
