disable auto generate password

  • Hello,

    I’m running a site in which most of users are not tech savvy, so there’s a lot of trouble getting a new password after adding a new user. Basicly they just press the “reset password” button without acknowledge they’ve choose a strong password without save it.

    One simple thought is to disable the auto generate strong password. Is it possible?

    The idea is to keep a blank field (instead of the generated strong password) before the user reset the password. With the empty field it’s more simple to acknowledge that’s a place to insert a new password.

    thanks in advance,
    Ed

    Hi Ed!

    You can load the password reset page with an empty field by adding the below code to the bottom of your theme’s functions.php file: 

    add_filter( 'random_password', 'disable_random_password', 10, 2 );

function disable_random_password( $password ) {
    $action = isset( $_GET['action'] ) ? $_GET['action'] : '';
    if ( 'wp-login.php' === $GLOBALS['pagenow'] && ( 'rp' == $action  || 'resetpass' == $action ) ) {
        return '';
    }
    return $password;
}

    Does this help?

    Hi,

    Thanks for replying. There’s an error
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘function’ (T_FUNCTION) in (URL/functions.php) on line 1598

    The code on line 1598 is: function disable_random_password( $password ) {

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks pwpsupport,

    Your Solution worked for me. Is there any way to hide characters?
