The module Password Only Login provides a password only login form. Often authentification with username and password is too complicated. Often it is sufficient to protect some content of a drupal installation with a single password.
How the module works
Password Only Login does not bypass the standard Drupal authentication system. The module needs one regular Drupal user account for its authentication. The login form of Password Only Login module is very similar to the normal Drupal login form except one difference: The Password Only Login login form transfers the username by a hidden input form field, instead of a textfield.
Installation and setup
First you install the module, you have to select one Drupal user account. The password you set for this user is the login password in the Password Only Login login form.
User protect
If you want to share the login password with several people, you have to ensure, that this password is never be changed. To accomplish this install the User protect module. You must make the username, password and the email unchangeable.
Caution
A user, who uses the Password Only Login login form, has the same rights and privileges as a user who logged in with the normal login form. You should only use this module if you know what you are doing. Never use the root user (User id 1) with this module.
Module integration
The Password Only Login module integrates with the module LoginToboggan.
