# Feature: #100294 - Add PSR-14 event to enrich password validation ContextData {#feature-100294-1679766730}

See [forge#100294](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/100294)

## Description {#description}

A new PSR-14 event `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\PasswordPolicy\Event\EnrichPasswordValidationContextDataEvent`
has been added, which allows extension authors to enrich the
`\TYPO3\CMS\Core\PasswordPolicy\Validator\Dto\ContextData`
DTO used in password policy validation.

The PSR-14 event is dispatched  in all classes, where a user password is
validated against the globally configured password policy.

The event features the following methods:

-   `getContextData()` returns the current `ContextData` DTO
-   `getUserData()` returns an array with user data available from the
    initiating class
-   `getInitiatingClass()` returns the class name, where the
    `ContextData` DTO is created

The event can be used to enrich the `ContextData` DTO with additional data
used in custom password policy validators.

> [!NOTE]
> The user data returned by `getUserData()` will include user data
> available from the initiating class only. Therefore, event listeners should
> always consider the initiating class name when accessing data from
> `getUserData()`. If required user data is not available via
> `getUserData()`, it can possibly be retrieved by a custom database
> query (e.g. data from user table in the password reset process by fetching
> the user with the `uid` given in `getUserData()` array).

Registration of the event in your extension's `Services.yaml`:

**EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Services.yaml**

```yaml
MyVendor\MyExtension\PasswordPolicy\EventListener\MyEventListener:
  tags:
    - name: event.listener
      identifier: 'my-extension/enrich-context-data'
```

The corresponding event listener class:

**EXT:my_extension/Classes/PasswordPolicy/EventListener/MyEventListener.php**

```php
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\DataHandling\DataHandler;
use TYPO3\CMS\Core\PasswordPolicy\Event\EnrichPasswordValidationContextDataEvent;

final class MyEventListener
{
    public function __invoke(EnrichPasswordValidationContextDataEvent $event): void
    {
        if ($event->getInitiatingClass() === DataHandler::class) {
            $event->getContextData()->setData('currentMiddleName', $event->getUserData()['middle_name'] ?? '');
            $event->getContextData()->setData('currentEmail', $event->getUserData()['email'] ?? '');
        }
    }
}
```

## Impact {#impact}

With the new `EnrichPasswordValidationContextDataEvent`, it is now
possible to enrich the `ContextData` DTO used in password policy
validation with additional data.
