Change label for "user_pass" on login form?

  • I see a lot about creating a custom login page but can I just change the text label for the password field and the default login form?

    I want to add some custom text next to the word “Password” on the login form.

    <label for="user_pass">
Password
<br>
<input id="user_pass" class="input" type="password" size="20" value="" name="pwd">
</label>

    thanks!!

  • The labels on the login form seem to be hardcoded, but something along these lines might work:

    function prefix_change_login_form_user_pass_label( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
	global $pagenow;
	if ( in_array( $pagenow, array( 'wp-login.php', 'wp_register.php' ) ) ) {
		if ( 'Password' == $text ) {
			$translated_text = 'Zoinks!';
		}
	}
	return $translated_text;
}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'prefix_change_login_form_user_pass_label', 20, 3 );

    I should of posted my solution here already but I did get something from wpmudev that worked. Pretty close to what you have. Thanks Barry, I noticed you responded on the plugin page as well! You wouldn’t think this would really be necessary but some users have a lot of issues with passwords for reasons I don’t understand LOL. 

    function change_password_label() {
    add_filter( 'gettext', 'password_change', 20, 3 );
    function password_change( $translated_text, $text, $domain )
    {
        if ($text === 'Password')
        {
            $translated_text = 'Custom Password Label';
        }
        return $translated_text;
    }
}
add_action( 'login_head', 'change_password_label' );
