    Hi,

    I wonder if you can help me?

    I have a two tier membership 2=customer and 3=subscriber. I would like to enforce strong passwords in registration but this doesn’t seem possible eg a subscriber can have a weak password e.g. oranges and be accepted without problem. Is there any way to strengthen this, please?

    Oh, just thought I should add that I have used the Form Builder add-on (because I needed a bit more functionality than the default uses) and the Password error pops up when less than four characters are used – it will accept four characters not the six mentioned elsewhere.

    Many thanks,

    Ken

    You can “tinker” with the password validation code, in the eMember_registration_utils.php file.

    If your version of eMember (more than 2 months old) is accepting less than 6 characters; consider updating the plugin.

    Thanks wzp,

    I’ve tried the solution in the first link, backing up the original eMember_registration_utils.php first and reset the fields, first to 6 and then to 8, but I could still enter only 4 characters for the password and it was accepted.

    My version was only purchased in September, however, I have downloaded the plugin afresh from the reinstall link provided – the plugin went from version 9.2.3 to 9.2.4. so there was a difference, but the registration form still will accept only 4 characters. I also re-installed the wp eCart and eMember Form Builder add-on but there has been no change.

    I really would like this to default to 8 and show the pop-up as requiring 8 not the 4 it currently shows. I’m happy to make adjustments to this via my child theme if at all possible.

    One other thing, would it be possible to call the class eMember_Rand_Pass_Utility into a form so that the form itself would generate the random secure password automatically?

    I have updated the form builder to also require 6 characters (so it is the same as the core plugin’s registration form). I have sent you an update via email.
