Automatic Update of Date Portion (Month & Year) in Passwords

Automatic Update of Date Portion (Month & Year) in Passwords

Currently, passwords stored in Devolutions can be updated manually or fully rotated. In our environment, we have a specific requirement where only the date portion of a password (month and year) should be automatically updated, while the rest of the password remains unchanged.

Requested Functionality

  • Ability to automatically update only the month and year within a password.
  • The remaining part of the password should stay static.
  • The update should be configurable (e.g., monthly or yearly).
  • Ideally, this could be implemented via:
    • Password templates with date variables (MM/YYYY or similar), or
    • A built-in rule for partial password rotation.

Use Case
We manage multiple service accounts and application credentials where the password format follows a predefined structure, for example:
AppName!MMYY

Example password:

  • Current password: FinanceApp!0626
  • Next automatic update: FinanceApp!0726

Hi cyrillschreiber,

Thank you for sharing this request.

Our password generator is designed around security best practices, and this isn't something we're looking to implement in the short term.

We do understand that real-world environments can come with constraints, and we appreciate you taking the time to describe your use case.

Best regards,

Simon Leroux
