New Feature | Force Re-authenticate

[mjamilasfihani]

From the ROADMAP https://github.com/lonnieezell/myth-auth/projects/1#card-37568349
I notice that we can use filter (maybe sudo-su 😄) for give the user access to the page
that need to input their password first.

how to check it? we can use session to save the key, any flows suggestion? It's honor for me to finish this feature

Actually, another user had sent me an email with their solution on this, which I think works nicely. I had forgotten about it, unfortunately. If you want to take this and turn it into a PR that would be awesome. Here's their email:

---

My process of Re-authenticate begin with update the App/Filters and add this line to aliases

'passwordConfirmCheck' => PasswordConfirm::class

and then, add this line to filter, it will tell the fw which place need to Re-authenticate
the password

'passwordConfirmCheck' => ['before' => ['acp/user','acp/user/*', 'acp/permission', 'acp/config']],

• the PasswordConfirm.php file will check the session password_confirm if it does not exist we will asked user to input password again

The password confirm function

/**
 * Confirm the password
 */
public function passwordConfirm() {

    $this->_render('\acp\password_confirm', $this->_data);
}

public function passwordConfirmAction() {
    $inputData = $this->request->getPost();
    // Validate data
    $rules = [
        'password'    => 'required',
    ];
    $errMess = [
        'password' => [
            'required' => lang('User.pw_required')
        ]
    ];

    //validate the input
    if (! $this->validate($rules, $errMess)) {
        return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('errors', $this->validator->getErrors());
    }

    $authenticator = Services::authentication();

    if ( !$authenticator->validPassword($inputData['password']) ) {
        return redirect()->back()->withInput()->with('error', lang('Auth.invalidPassword'));
    } else {
        $redirectURL = session('redirect_url') ?? '/';
        unset($_SESSION['redirect_url']);

        session()->set('password_confirm', $this->user->id);
        return redirect()->to($redirectURL);
    }
}

View: password_confirm.php

I haven't examined it too closely but seems like a great solution for it.
