App Password Audit — concept preview of the proposed WordPress plugin

The problem

Application passwords are created for a CI job and never revoked, and wp-admin does not show a site-wide list.

Who this WordPress plugin is for

Admins with REST or CLI integrations on production.

App Password Audit is a proposed WordPress plugin for Admins with REST or CLI integrations on production..

A single screen lists application passwords by user, last used, and name. You can revoke one. It does not replace REST authentication.

Proposed plugin features

What this WordPress plugin would include in an initial release.

  • Site-wide list

    Every application password, not only the current user.

  • Last used

    See which tokens still touch the site.

  • Revoke

    Destroy a token without deleting the user.

Not in the first release

Kept out of scope on purpose, so the first version ships small and focused.

  • OAuth servers
  • Disabling the REST API
  • A security scanner
