This plugin is designed for site administrators who want to enforce a clear separation between human user accounts and automated system access. It specifically targets the application passwords feature, disabling it for standard user accounts to reduce the risk of credential misuse.
Selective Disablement: The plugin disables the application passwords feature only for accounts with a user role, leaving it available for dedicated system or service accounts if configured separately.
Security Focus: By preventing human accounts from generating application passwords, it mitigates the risk of these long-lived credentials being compromised or used outside their intended scope.
Simple Implementation: It works by removing the application passwords UI and related capabilities from affected user profiles, requiring no complex configuration after activation.
Demonstration Purpose: The plugin was originally created to illustrate a specific security concern regarding application password usage, providing a practical tool for administrators who share that viewpoint.
