App Passwords can be used, where necessary, to bridge the gap to modern security standards where a necessary system creates a classic compliance headache, such as no direct support for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). One such example is Dovecot, the world's leading email backend platform for IMAP and POP3 access. What is an Application-Specific Password? An App Password is a long, randomly generated password (usually 16 characters) that allows a specific legacy application or device—which doesn't natively support Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) or modern authentication protocols (like OAuth 2.0) - to securely access your account. IXP Manager implements an application-specific password manager for the convenience of IXPs who need it and who do not have an alternative system. At a high-level, IXP Manager's implementation has the following features and restrictions: * Passwords must be hashed when stored in the database - there is no plaintext option and no way to retrieve a password after initially creating it. * It is only available for administrative users. * The hashing options available are: bcrypt, argon, and argon2id. * There is an option to keep a record of when passwords were used and from what IP address, but that is dependent on support from the downstream application. These are expunged after 90 days by default. * Passwords must have an expiry date, with the default being 12 months from creation. |

About IXP Manager
For detailed information, see: https://www.ixpmanager.org/
IXP Manager is a full stack management platform for Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) which includes an administration and customer portal; provides end to end provisioning; and both teaches and implements best practice.
IXP Manager began as an internal project at INEX circa 2007. Over that time it has changed a lot, but always for the better and always to help us run INEX efficiently and with lower overhead. Three of our key requirements as an IXP are security, consistency and reliability. IXP Manager has been designed to help us achieve these.
Our vision for IXP Manager as a technology is that it will enable the creation of IXPs wherever they are required which in turn will create a stronger, open, more robust and better connected internet. And not only is it hoped that IXP Manager will help start these new IXPs but that it will also enable these IXPs to launch from the best place possible: secure by default, proven configurations and designs, implementing best practice.
Our hope is also to gather and foster an IXP Manager community - a place where the many IXPs that use IXP Manager can come and help each other, learn from each other and share their stories. Our website will highlight some of the internet heroes in the IXP space and feature case studies.
Today, IXP Manager is in use by many IXPs around the world - with more being added every month. This is something that gives all of the team at INEX, our community sponsors, the developers and contributors immense pride. It is also quite sobering - it reminds us all to keep all the community in mind when developing and prioritising new features. And it focuses our attention on maintaining the excellent reliability and security standards that have been set over the past two decades.
