SOGO Change Password - See Password

gnulab

Hi,

Could the developer add “see password” feature in the SOGO Change Password section?

Thanks.

You should not change the password in SOGo. Use the mailcow UI for that. With the upcoming changes in authentication (LDAP/OIDC) I guess it will not be possible to do it in SOGo anyway.

So, every user would need to have access to mailcow just to change password?

Of course. The mailcow UI is accessible for every user! There he can set app passwords (highly recommended)
Also, as I mentioned, in future it will not be possible to login to SOGo directly. You have to logon to mailcow and then press the “Webmail” button, and SOGo will open automatically with the user already logged in.

Not sure if this is the place to discuss or if it has been discussed before.

If we were to use gmail or outlook as an example, won’t the below average to average user be overwhelmed by these features available to them:

login to mailcow -> click “Webmail” just to be able to see their mail
Mailbox setting
Spam filter setting
Pushover API

The User Experience won’t be that smooth either as the appearance of mailcow and SOGo don’t share the same theme.

gnulab I assume the login method will change but that doesn’t sound like it would be hard for the average user.
