Expire User Passwords

Require certain users to change their passwords on a regular basis.

This plugin sets a default minimum password length of 10 characters, to ensure that passwords are suitably long that they are hard to guess. However, it does not insist on any complexity rules, such as digits and special characters, as length is the most important thing when making a password hard to guess.
This plugin uses Troy Hunt’s <a href="https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords" rel="nofollow ugc">Pwned Passwords API</a> in order to check a user’s potential password against a corpus of breached passwords.
The password itself is never sent to any third party, only a partial hash is sent. This means that the password entered will always be private.
As an added bonus, this plugin also upgrades the hashing algorithm used when storing your password in the database. This is a secure one-way hash created using the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt" rel="nofollow ugc">Bcrypt</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon2" rel="nofollow ugc">Argon2</a> algorithm.

Better Passwords

I use this plugin on all of my sites - it not only checks if a used password is included in a haveibeenpwned.com leak, but also forces Wordpress to use more secure hashing algorithms for saving passwords. Highly recommended!

Perfect for my needs, as it doesn't attempt to enforce overly complex password rules, it just allows me to set a minimum length, and checks new passwords against Have I Been Pwned to make sure it's not been previously included in a breach. Can also store passwords using stronger hashing algorithms than the WordPress default.


Perfect for my needs

Stop use of a bad passwords, including those in the Have I Been Pwned? breached password database
