<p>Prevent password resets or changes to specific users or user roles. User-specific exceptions to the sweeping user roles can be set. The user’s password is then protected from modification:</p>
<ul>
<li>In the user’s profile editor</li>
<li>Using the password reset link in the login window</li>
</ul>
<p>The settings are available to either the super admin on the network, or normal admins on a single installation. If you wish to hide the settings completely, put the following in your wp-config.php:</p>
<pre><code>define( 'PLAINVIEW_PROTECT_PASSWORDS_HIDE', true );
</code></pre>
<p>Requires PHP 5.4.</p>


Plainview Protect Passwords

I love that is works well with network sites so I don't have to replicate my settings across each of my sites. 

The only issue I ran into is that only network roles are added to the network settings. Maybe it's by design, but it would be awesome if it picked up the roles from the sites because that is where plugins like User Role Editor and WooCommerce have registered them. In order to protect these I would have to modify the settings for each of my network sites separately. Annoying but totally doable. 

Thanks for the quick and easy solution today!

Gets the job done

Selectively protect passwords from being reset or modified.

<h3>What does this plugin do?</h3>
<p>WooCommerce has an integrated Password Strength Meter which forces users to use strong passwords. Sometimes this isn’t desirable – with this plugin, you can choose between five password levels ranging from “Anything Goes” to “Strong Passwords Only”. In addition, you can modify the colors and appearance of these custom messages, as well as modify or remove the password hint. For details on how the password strength is determined, <a href="https://github.com/DanielSantoro/wc-password-strength-settings/wiki/How-Password-Strength-is-Determined" rel="nofollow ugc">please read the documentation here</a>.</p>
<h4>What’s New?</h4>
<p>Version 3.0.0 is a bit of a rewrite to bring the plugin up to modern coding standards. Functionality should not be impacted, but if it is, please reach out on the support forums.</p>
<p>Version 3.0.1 is simply a hotfix declaring compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS. Since this plugin doesn’t touch anything with the orders or order metadata, it shouldn’t be impacted at all. <em>However</em>, if you notice any issues then please reach out via the contact form on my website.</p>
<h4>Notes</h4>
<p>While this does allow for user accounts to have weaker passwords, it’s a good idea to still encourage strong password use – <em>especially</em> for administrators!</p>
<h4>Planned Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Option to remove “- Please enter a stronger password.” that is added by WordPress.</li>
<li>Nothing else at the moment, but let me know if you have any ideas.</li>
</ul>
