  • WordPress password's too strong !

    I have a WordPress site that has user sign up and woocommerce

    The new password requirements are so difficult that customers are going elsewhere

    is it possible to tone it down ?

    eg Singletrack!1783, Stw1985! Anthony.wetwick1984! are all considered weak

    Why do they need to create an account to checkout?

    The site has a membership system and a shop so an account is required users can keep track of subscriptions and to a lesser extent any shop any order history

    Required by you, not the users.

    Anyway. Is it a WP.com site or are you hosting a WP.org installation? I’m 99% certain that my self-hosted install doesn’t have such requirements.

    stw claims passwords similar to that are weak.

    I gave up trying to create a strong one as it seemed to let me continue.

    maybe but i as a customer expect an account from CRC,wiggle,Evans, ticket master so i can track my purchases and subscriptions

    it is self hosted

    my app says 4 days for the first and 7 hours for the second.

    It has centuries for the last but that does look a bit suspect, like social engineering clues might help, so maybe the algorythm is scanning for no years and no names?

    Then I’d hazard it’s a ‘feature’ of the e-commerce plugin or some such rather than WP itself. Worth checking options there.
