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:

Thanks,
