Consider marking module obsolete in favour of Shield

Created on 15 October 2024, about 2 months ago

When this module was created, the Shield module was an all-or-nothing approach. Now it has support for only protecting certain paths.

Paths and routes are not the same thing, but in reality, to most site builders they are.

I propose we mark this module as obsolete and direct potential users to the more popular and feature-rich Shield module. I'll leave this ticket open for feedback for around 12 weeks. If there are no responses by then I will do as I've proposed.

    I note that this module still requires configuration by manual editing of the config file.

    I've been thinking about this - and perhaps there is a use-case for this module if it were to protect different routes (or sets of routes) with different credentials? Seems a bit edge-casey though.
