Duplicate Force Password on admin accounts.

[Neminem 1518]

As we are seeing an influx of users getting compromised by bad actors. 

Why should Emby not impose a password policy ?

Or at least impose passwords on Emby Connection accounts since they need to be created local first.

But dont need a local password.

 

This gives the Admins a FAULSE sense of security, being a Emby Connect account.

But in fact if configured wrong !!

Leaves the door right open.

As seen below, in at least 1 example. 

 

I know I have asked this before, but the vote is still no.

1)  This on is from this morning.

I suspect this is the case, need confirmation.

2) This one is earlier this year.

Had not set password, when setting up Emby Connect accounts.

TBH we as users " Admins don't get any warning when NOT doing so. "

So how would this admin know ?

And I guess this is just the tip of the Iceberg.

Not all admins would confess to this.
