Changing Password within Profile – Notification when password is too weak

  • Hi,

    I have installed Force Strong Passwords on WordPress and am in the process of testing. I requested a password reset at the log in screen and was forced to choose a strong password. All good so far.

    The next step was to change my password through the Profile option. NB My account has Author rights. I selected Generate Password and a strong password was autogenerated. I replaced this with a WEAK password and TICKED the box to confirm use of weak password. I then updated my profile. There was no obvious message so it appeared that my weak password has been accepted.

    On logging out and then back in the weak password was not accepted, and I had to log in with the old strong password.

    I tested changing the password to a weak one again, and this time spotted the error message at the top of the screen. “ERROR: Please make the password a strong one.”

    Is there anyway this can be made more obvious, like a pop up box?

    Many thanks : )
