I think I found the article:

Self-Registering Password Protection, Part 1
Randal's requirements were some what similar. I wanted to randomly generate
the password for a particular user after they log in a limited number of times
and then send email to someone.
After reading the article, I thinking the best way to implement my
requirements
would be to create (or modify) an authentication module that would keep track
of how many times a user logs in and also be able to trigger (REDIRECT to) a
cgi script when certain conditions are meet. My cgi script (custom
requirements) could then regenerate the new password and do any the
notifications required.
The authentication trigger (REDIRECT) would be the trick, in that it should be
generic enough to allow for a whole range of other situations.
