Password Changer

Password Changer is a POPPASSD client designed for Macintosh systems. This program utilizes the protocol used by Eudora and other POP mail clients for password changing purposes. It's worth noting that this protocol isn't the most secure since it doesn't encrypt passwords on the network. However, it's still a useful solution for people who want to use a different mailer with POPPASSD support in a controlled environment such as a classroom.

For those who are interested, POPPASSD daemons are available for almost all UNIX versions, including Linux. Password Changer was developed using PowerPlant, a C++ framework by Metrowerks. This program makes use of MacTCP calls to connect to the server.

When using the Password Changer program, users will be prompted to enter their username and password. If the Macintosh's username is a single word, it will be used as the default for the username field. After the user has entered their login credentials, they will be prompted to enter a new password, which must be typed in twice. If the new passwords do not match, the program will abort. Once this stage is complete, the Password Changer program will attempt to make a network connection.

Overall, if you're looking for a simple and straightforward way to change your password while using a POPPASSD client on your Macintosh, Password Changer is worth checking out. It offers an easy-to-use interface and is a useful tool for those in controlled environments.
