If we can somewhat link a mail to something, we could offer password a recovery feature.
Some ideas:
- Auth Grove (potentially circular if user uses Nasqueron mail to login)
- Belgian eID
- A backup mail address

Development moratoire
Per T1771, we're currently considering implementing Keycloak as a reference identity management and SSO login product.
This product exposes a LDAP, OIDC (OpenID Connect) and SAML capabilities to authenticate users and applications. It seems to solve our main problems.
From there, it's not clear what we do with Auth Grove:
- Scenario A. We drop it, and as users we directly interact with Keycloak. Development is discontinued.
- Scenario B. Auth Grove is morphed into a front-end to use Keycloak: we expose current information, and interact with Keycloak API (through a generic set of classes to allow to switch to another solution) to set credentials and metadata.
- Scenario C. We use both Keycloak AND Auth Grove. We don't make integrate with Keycloak at all, to stay independent and not vendor-locked.
While T1771 evaluation is ongoing, a moratoire covers any development activities related to Auth Grove, with the obvious exception of security issues.
This moratoire cover fully or partly this task.

Current state
ViMbAdmin allows to update a known password: https://admin.mail.nasqueron.org/auth/change-password
This password will be updated for Dovecot and will allow you to receive mails.
The note about Keycloak and Auth Grove is still relevant for the first idea.
An alternative mail address can be set by admins during mail box creation (or after), but can't be edited by users. It's seems less convenient than a central authentication system.
