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:
- 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:
- 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:
- 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.
