Lower password security when register

Hello Derek,

Thanks for reaching out. This is a change that WooCommerce added in version 2.5X and since then many users have demanded an option to control/disable this. So sooner or later WooCommerce would provide this option. There are lots of options available to configure it before WooCommerce adds a settings panel but all of them involve coding.

Here are few of those for your reference-

I am yet to check solutions offered in the above-shared links.

Since your requirement is a bit different( you need to lower the security rather than completely disable the security meter) you would need to define the parameter for medium level security and then get it implemented. That would require a developer’s help. Instead, if you want to disable the security check, I can check the solutions from the threads above and help you with one exact solution.

Let me know if that would helps.

Well, completely disable the security would be a good alternative for the moment as I find it a bit long for people who doesn’t normally use these kind of password. I rely on speed for users to register and buy products.
I’ll check the links you provided see if I can do something. Of course, if you want to help me with this I will be more than happy !

Thank you,
Derek

Hi Derek,

Thanks for holding patience. I too have gone through the above shared link along with the tech team help and found that the very first solution is the best one.

To remove the password strength, add the code to your functions.php file and will work:

function logi_remove_strength_meter() {
if (wp_script_is(‘wc-password-strength-meter’, ‘done’)) {
?>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery(function ($) {

function let_me_sell() {
$(‘form.checkout input[type=”submit”]’).removeAttr(‘disabled’);
}

$( document.body )
.on( ‘keyup’, ‘form.checkout #account_password’, let_me_sell )
.on( ‘change’, ‘form.checkout #createaccount’, let_me_sell );
});
</script>
<?php
}
}

add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘logi_remove_strength_meter’, 99);

Let me know how this works with your site.

Yes, everything worked perfectly, I’m waiting for a plugin update so I can lower the strenght, but this solution is perfect for now.

Thank you very much,

Hi Derek,

Just thought to notify that the updated version of WCMp i.e, WC-Marketplace 2.3.6 is now available.

Ohh great, how can I check the changelog?

Hi Derek,

You can check the changelog on the plugin page i.e, WC Marketplace, you will find the option of “Changelog” there.

DualCube, what login page does this affect?
I am using this login page (…/index.php/my-account/) and that code has no effect.

Is that because that is a WooCommerce specific page using the shortcodes?

Thanks!
