<p>WordPress profile pages contain a visual indicator which shows the strength of a user’s chosen password. This is nice, but WordPress doesn’t actually enforce this in any way, so users are free to select weak passwords.</p>
<p>Minimum Password Strength uses the same method to calculate a password’s strength, but forces users to meet a minimum strength requirement before they can change their password.</p>
<p>By default, passwords must have “Medium” strength, but administrators can change this to force passwords to be at least “Weak”, “Medium”, or “Strong”. To change the minimum strength, go to Settings -> Password Strength after installing Minimum Password Strength.</p>
<p>For now, all users have the same password strength requirements, but a later release will allow administrators to select different strength requirements for different roles.</p>


Minimum Password Strength

Enforce a specific password strength. Uses the same strength calculations as the WordPress password strength meter
