1704582 - Automatically add Apple's "password-rules" data to Remote Settings

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Password Manager, task, P3)

Description

[Tim Giles [:tgiles]]

Since Apple has open sourced various resources for password managers, we want to utilize this data to improve the password manager experience by allowing allow login credentials to be used across multiple domains (i.e., realms).

We will need the following:

1. Set up a new Kinto account for a script to authenticate and edit records in the "password-rules" collections
2. Create a script to pull the latest "password-rules" data from Apple's repo
3. Determine where this script should live
4. Notify ops of the script's location, since we'll need their help in setting up the automation to run the script once every two weeks

This merged GitHub pull request resolves this bug. Instead of creating a new Kinto account, we will use the account from Bug 1687996 so that we can simplify the update operations for both of these collections. Both collections have very similar update logic and should run on the same "once every two weeks" schedule, so it made sense to merge these two updaters together.
