Description
WooCommerce has an integrated Password Strength Meter which forces users to use strong passwords. Sometimes this isn’t desirable – with this plugin, you can choose between five password levels ranging from “Anything Goes” to “Strong Passwords Only”. In addition, you can modify the colors and appearance of these custom messages, as well as modify or remove the password hint. For details on how the password strength is determined, please read the documentation here.
What’s New?
2.2.0 adds automated translations for the following languages in addition to English:
– Czech
– German
– Spanish
– French
– Italian
– Japanese
– Korean
– Portuguese (Brazilian)
– Russian
– Chinese (Simplified)
– Chinese (Traditional)
Note that these are automatic translations – I can’t speak other languages, so any localization assistance is more than welcome. If you can contribute to localization, head over to GitHub.
Notes
While this does allow for user accounts to have weaker passwords, it’s a good idea to still encourage strong password use – especially for administrators!
