Password Policy Credits And Acknowledgements

Password Policy is part of the Capell package set. This page names the main frameworks, packages, authors, and services this package leans on, with a short note about what they make possible here. It is intentionally shorter than the repository-wide credits page and closer to the package itself.

Package role: Password expiry, forced password changes, and password safety policy for Capell CMS.

  • Laravel, created by Taylor Otwell, gives this package routing, service providers, Eloquent, validation, queues, events, auth, caching, and the normal Laravel testing surface.
  • Filament and the Filament project give this package admin resources, pages, widgets, forms, tables, actions, and panel integration.
  • Composer, Packagist, and GitHub make the package install, split, and release workflow possible. Composer and Packagist deserve a special nod because Capell packages live and update through Composer metadata.
  • Pest, Orchestra Testbench, PHPStan, Larastan, Laravel Pint, and Rector keep this package easier to test, review, and update when bugs are fixed.
  • Capell Admin supplies the Capell-side contracts, surfaces, or runtime that Password Policy builds on.
  • Capell Core supplies the Capell-side contracts, surfaces, or runtime that Password Policy builds on.
  • Laravel Actions, by Loris Leiva, keeps package behaviour in small action classes instead of burying it in pages, commands, or controllers.
  • Spatie Laravel Data, by Ruben Van Assche and Spatie, keeps request state, settings, and package results typed at the boundaries.
  • Spatie Laravel Package Tools, by Freek Van der Herten and Spatie, keeps service provider setup, config publishing, migrations, and command registration predictable.

Password Policy is useful because it layers stricter account rules onto Laravel auth without replacing auth. Expiry, forced changes, history, and compromised-password checks can be patched as policy concerns.

When Password Policy adds a new framework, service, or third-party package that becomes part of the user-facing workflow, update this page and the package README together. Credits should explain the practical help we get from a dependency, not just list a package name.
