Need to match string WITHIN password

    I’d like to password protect a page and its downloads on a website; but I want to count ANY string including ‘zhq’ as passing the password test. That way, some of my users can sign-in using ‘zhqrutland’ and others ‘zhqwaterbury’, etc.

    I imagine this involves using regex to test whether each password string CONTAINS ‘zhq’.

    But I don’t know whether there’s a plugin to do this, or a known elegant method. And if not, I don’t know where to start hacking.

    Direction is most welcome! Thanks,

    So regardless of those users’ usernames, if their password has ‘zhq’ they will be signed in?

    Yes – and if possible, I’d do away with the prompt for username on this one occasion.
