The Password Manager module stores passwords encrypted and allows to retrieve their plain text value programmatically. This is useful for connector modules which must authenticate to third-party systems with a plain text password.
Once the password is stored, a user of the Magnolia admin interface cannot see the password in plain text. The plain-text value can be retrieved only through program code.
The module installs the Passwords app which centralizes the management of passwords in the administration of Magnolia. The passwords are stored in a dedicated workspace called keystore
.
