By default, when you enable the Force Strong Password for Members option from the settings menu of the plugin, it will force the members to select a password with the following requirements:
- At least 8 characters long
- At least 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase character
- At least 1 digit
If you want to override the minimum password length from 8 characters to something longer, then this free addon/extension should do the job.
This addon will enforce the minimum password length to be 12 characters long on the member registration and edit profile forms.
