Don't usually write reviews but this extension was really helpful so I thought it deserved one.

I was getting a lot of unwanted messages posted on my forum (kunena) by bots. I installed this extension (easy btw) and set it up so that users must answer a simple question before being directed to the registration page. Since then I have received no spam messages.

Great work. Nice to have this functionality without having to make core hacks. Thanks. I wish I had found this extension sooner!

This is exactly what I needed for my Boy Scout Troop's website. This will allow only parents with the pass phrase to register an account.

Thanks for a great extension!

So far I have had 2 Joomla websites to use JRPassphrase on. A Non-profit organization, and a class reunion website. The ability to customize the text inside the module with html enables me to fit each websites template and content. You also have the ability to make your own custom "Wrong Passphrase" page for those who incorrectly guess at the Passphrase.

For anyone who is considering a "closed" or "private" type of website, this is a MUST HAVE!

I was able to have this up and running and working on my site in minutes and it has done exactly what I wanted it to do - stop registration bots that were already plaguing my site and restrict membership to those members of our club who know the passphrase

only our members of our club with the correct password can register, just what i needed
thanks !!

I just installed this on my website in which I wanted to limit registration to our members area only to my club's members. So far this seems to do just that without causing other problems.

It would be even better if a "Module Class Suffix" option could be set in the Passphrase module to integrate it into the template better.

Thanks for this great module/plugin.

Well I was looking for such extension for a long time and now I'm satisfied that someone thought on a large scale. It works perfectly and I'm very satisfied.

This software works as prescribed but I ran into a small hiccup, I use a discrete login on my template and, not realizing it, this tool wouldn't necessarily play well.

However, as a challenge/response validation tool, it works great. Those looking for additional or enhanced security could also couple this with a CAPTCHA component that would really reduce bogus registrations (if that's something you experience).

Overall I like how simple and direct the tool is.

I'm using it as a non-intrusive, no core files editing bot protection, and is working perfect, thanks :D

This is just what I was after... I just wanted certain individuals to be able to register on the charity site that I look after and this does the trick perfectly, with the minimum of fuss!

Thanks :)

This module and plugin provides a quick, clean way to control who can self register at your web site. I really like software that does what it's supposed to do and does it with simple elegance. It's a very nice little package that I expect will get a few nice tweaks over time.
