## Description

Forces all users to have a strong password when they’re changing it on their profile
page. If user enters a weak password an error message is displayed.

It uses the same algorithm to determine password strength as WordPress.

On multisite, network administrator can define required password strength (Network
Admin –> Settings –> Enforce Strong Passwords). On single site it’s admin has this
capability (Options –> Enforce Strong Passwords).

Developed for private use, but has perspective for more extensive usage. I can’t
guarantee any support in the future nor further development, but it is to be expected.
Kindly inform me about bugs, if you find any, or propose new features: [zaantar@zaantar.eu](https://ceb.wordpress.org/plugins/enforce-strong-password/zaantar@zaantar.eu?subject=[enforce-strong-password]).
