The “confirm weak password” checkbox remains active, allowing the user to confirm, only then an error message appears.
The option should be removed.
As a matter of fact – that is ALL a plugin like this would need to do to enforce a strong password!!
]]>This plugin made complete sense when it was first built, but I feel that the new password strength features in WordPress mean that the plugin needs to be re-engineered since a lot of this plugins functionality is already baked into core.
With that in mind, if I’ve forked it into something much simpler than the existing plugin. Since WordPress already includes the ability to limit password strength, I’ve simply hidden the checkbox which lets you bypass that check
Here is the forked version:
https://github.com/ryanhellyer/minimum-password-strength
Would you be interested in merging these changes back into this plugin? I’d rather work on this existing one than create my own fork if possible. I’m happy to act as an admin and fix stuff if it breaks too. Although I suspect that wouldn’t be a problem since my new version is stupidly simple.
]]>It would be good if it could work with the WooCommerce password strength meter as well.
]]>Hi
I have installed this on my dev site and set the password to weak.
it still wont let me sign up with a weak password.
]]>Hi,
Unfortunately, no load_plugin_textdomain call and lacking metadata for translation with poedit.
Could you correct this please ?
Thanks.
]]>Hi – what is meant by weak, medium and strong? Also, does this plugin include meaningful user hints for when users try to change their password or lose a password through the wordpress change password system?
