Disable Password Strength

  • Hi, During Password Reset WP Members (Or WordPress Itself) forces user to create strong password. Is there any way to disable it ? Users can use whatever combination they like no matter weak or strong.

    The core plugin does not do anything with the password strength. If a random password is used for either registration or password reset (the plugin’s default configuration), it uses what is generated by WP’s wp_generate_password() function. So if you’re just using the core plugin and the password change is requiring a strong password, then I don’t suspect that the process being used is the WP-Members one. (Note: the plugin’s premium Security plugin does have a password strength setting/requirement, so if you’re using that, you can disable it in the Security settings)

    Thank you. I will try to look into the WP Core Settings for Password Strength.

    Circling back to this (as it also came up elsewhere in a support question), if you’re talking about the password strength requirement when using one of the WooCommerce forms, there IS a filter hook that allows you to dial that up or down. To require a weaker password, return a lower number; or a higher number for stronger (from 0 – 5)

    There’s also a filter that allows you to remove the requirement altogether:
