[2.3 feature request]: multiple passwords for single user
Hi.
I wonder if there any plans of finishing "multiple passwords for single user" feature?
Few months old thread mentioned this: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-July/097217.html and even a patch that unfortunately was never finished http://dovecot.org/patches/2.0/auth-multi-password-2.0.diff
Multiple passwords for single user are great since allow easy password management for users. For example you could have one password on a laptop, one on a phone, one on a tablet. Revoking access to the device is as easy as dropping single password and it doesn't affect other devices. There are more use cases.
Untill that happens (not that great) workaround exists: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases

No, just use multiple fields in SQL with IF statements. Unless you want a single login method to support multiple passwords - which doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
