This idea does not seem very secure to me.

This plugin lets users change their passwords AFTER they correctly log
in to SquirrelMail, which is the more secure way of adding this
feature to your webmail system.  After you follow the instructions in
the INSTALL and README files, there will be a link for changing
password on the Options page.  You'll also want to ask me offlist for
the updated beta code for this plugin.  Keep in mind, you should
always try to install this plugin instead if possible:

This thread describes nothing related to using a SM plugin.  If you
want help with it, ask there.

This is not a support forum for whatever service you are trying to run
on port 2222.

It does not add anything to the login page.
