    Hi Team,

    I was planning to use this plugin to enforce password security. Will there be any impact on the existing users? Will they be forced to change their passwords?

    Cheers,
    Poonam

    No, there is no impact on existing users, it does not enforce a password reset. It will only use the new encryption method, if selected, when they change their password or a new password is created for a new user, so it will progressively update during the normal course of events, not affect existing passwords.

    There are other plugins that can be used to force a reset of all passwords, and I am contemplating adding similar (optional) functionality into this plugin in a future version, to allow a more aggressive approach.
