link to password changing standard

[pabs3]

The README.md alludes to standard mechanisms for password changing etc but doesn't reference any of them. @WICG has published one such standard, it would be good to link to it. If there are other ones, please link to them too.

https://wicg.github.io/change-password-url/ https://github.com/WICG/change-password-url https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18618193

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to allow one-click password changing within browser password lists, but it is a good start.

The README does link to the Well-Known Change Password URL like this:

This is the quirks version of the Well Known URL for Changing Passwords.

But just because it’s mentioned there doesn’t mean it can’t be mentioned more clearly or more often. Do you have any suggestions?

Woops, I completely missed that link, thanks. I would suggest creating a Standards section between the Welcome and Resources sections.

@rmondello I think you are definitely right with “it can be clearer”. A best practice sections will be helpful for ones wanting to get their domains off the list.

That link is now 404 (as is the entire https://wicg.github.io/ page); perhaps the link should be updated to https://web.dev/change-password-url/#set-up-%22a-well-known-url-for-changing-passwords%22 (which also still points to the missing spec URL, but at least isn't a huge 404 page)?

The change password URL spec moved to the W3C WebAppSec WG:

https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-change-password-url/ https://github.com/w3c/webappsec-change-password-url

I just fixed that here: https://github.com/apple/password-manager-resources/commit/10b1d696bc77614b6d87dd1a366863cdb0de90cf
