eMember – how to increase minimum password length

[Marek]

Hello,

the registration form request only 4 characters for the password.

Is it possibille to increase the min. password length to 6 characters?

The option “use strong password” would be very usefull.

Thanks,

Marek

Update: This has been changed in the plugin. The minimum password length is set to 6

1. Backup and edit the eMember_registration_utils.php file.
2. Look for the following line:

   <input type=”password” id=”wp_emember_pwd” name=”wp_emember_pwd” autocomplete=”off” size=”20″ value=”” class=”validate[required,minSize[4]] eMember_text_input” />

3. Change the value of: minSize[4]

   to: minSize[6]

4. Save the file.

I wanted this too. Before changing it I decided to see if ‘Edit Profile’ would let me enter a password shorter than 4 characters so I tried changing it to: abc

It worked. So, if 4 or 6 or whatever is to be of any use, then it needs to be enforced in edit profile as well.

I also tried Dashboard-eMember-Members. abc can be entered there as well. This is probably OK since only an Admin can change it there.

I have made a change in the plugin to take care of that.

Wow! Fast turnaround for a coding change (2 hours from my post to a fix).

Tested and working. Minimum is now 6 characters by default so I left it alone rather than have a custom fix to always worry about updating.

Thanks!
