how to change password strength ?

WordPress takes strong passwords VERY seriously nowadays and for good reasons. It is REALLY recommend that one does not do that. You may read about this here https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2015/07/28/passwords-strong-by-default/.

All in all the password strength is only an indication. You can set your passwords to whatever you want, be it strong or simple, but the actual indication of the password strengthness needs to thell the honest truth.

Thanks Nevma. ??

Hi Nevma,
can i add A Very Strong. i want the password strength to be paralleled if there is a Very weak there should be Very Strong.

Hmm, I believe that the script that calculates the password strength has certain presets and cannot be altered at the moment, because the core WordPress has taken it from another open source project. You can read more about it here https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2015/07/28/passwords-strong-by-default/ but I guess you cannot change it.

ok thanks Nevma. but maybe deleting the very weak?

Sorry, I didn’t quite get that, what do you mean by:

but maybe deleting the very weak?

Sorry for that . what i mean is the password strength is up to STRONG only, so i would like to take out the VERY WEAK. so that the password strength will be paralleled.

Then, perhaps you need a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/enforce-strong-password/ or https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/force-strong-passwords/ or https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-password-policy-manager/.

Thanks Nevma. ??

It doesn’t let me set just any password – can’t click the register button if it is weak.
