I do want exactly that.

Good/bad depends on usage scenario and needs, so don't worry about this.

That won't work in my scenario. I need two (or more) passwords for the same 
service.

Whoops misfired

Unless you want a single service to have multiple passwords, which doesn't
seem like a good idea to me, use SQL if statements to separate by
service/host.

No, just use multiple fields in SQL with IF statements.  Unless you want a
single login method to support multiple passwords - which doesn't seem like
a good idea to me.


[2.3 feature request]: multiple passwords for single user

2014-12-15 Thread Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz

Hi.

I wonder if there any plans of finishing "multiple passwords for single user" 
feature?

Few months old thread mentioned this:
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-July/097217.html
and even a patch that unfortunately was never finished
http://dovecot.org/patches/2.0/auth-multi-password-2.0.diff

Multiple passwords for single user are great since allow easy password 
management for users. For example you could have one password on a laptop, one 
on a phone, one on a tablet. Revoking access to the device is as easy as 
dropping single password and it doesn't affect other devices. There are more 
use cases.

Untill that happens (not that great) workaround exists:
