The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.
I have been developing some Drupal modules which I hope the community find as useful as I did. To add to the security of Drupal authentication I have developed
[userone] module.
[userone] module.
[userone] lets the admin (user one) to choose a different name from Drupal user name that will be hidden from others while Drupal user name is public to visitors. All login attempts using the Drupal user name will fail and be logged at watchdog for analysis. Configuration lets admin to enter IPs addresses from which admin login is allowed.
[userone] will not alter existing data in users table. Once uninstalled or inactive, [userone] will return Drupal authentication as it used to be.
The module is written for Drupal 5 and its code can be downloaded at http://www.yumi-design.com/userone.zip
Thank you.

avpadernoDrupal allows to choose a username for the first user; I don't understand for what the module could be useful.

avpadernoThe security stays in choosing a password that is not easy to guess, and that contains at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one number, and a special character.
