Overview
Weak passwords are an easy way into member accounts. This plugin addresses that by requiring every member to create a complex password, with uppercase letters, numbers and special characters. The rules run automatically, so site administrators do not have to check or chase passwords by hand.
The plugin is built to work with the Paid Memberships Pro framework, so it fits into a membership setup you already run. You can adjust the password strength criteria to match your own security policies. Members get instant feedback while they type, which helps them reach a valid password without repeated failed attempts.
Features
- Strong password enforcement: Members must create passwords that include uppercase letters, numbers and special characters, which raises the bar for account security across the whole membership base.
- Works with Paid Memberships Pro: The plugin is made for the Paid Memberships Pro framework, so password rules fit into your existing membership setup without changing how members use the site.
- Customizable requirements: Adjust the password strength criteria so they match your site's own security policies and any compliance standards you need to follow.
- Real-time validation feedback: Members see guidance as they create a password, so they know right away what to fix. This can reduce login problems later.
- Covers every entry point: Strong password rules apply during registration, password resets and profile updates, so a weak password cannot slip in through a different route.
- Lightweight code: The plugin uses optimized, lightweight code so that adding password rules places a minimal load on your site.
- Compatible with common themes and plugins: It is designed to work alongside popular WordPress themes and plugins, so it can be added to a typical membership site.
