Overview
Weak passwords put customer accounts and digital products at risk. Easy Digital Downloads – Password Meter addresses this at the point where passwords are created. The meter appears in the user registration and checkout processes and shows how strong a password is while the customer types it, so people can fix a weak choice before they submit.
The plugin is built for Easy Digital Downloads, so it fits stores selling software, digital art, eBooks or other downloadable products. You can set minimum password complexity rules to match your security needs. The interface is clean and readable, and the layout is responsive, so the meter works on desktops, tablets and smartphones.
