Description

Did you find this plugin helpful? Please consider leaving a 5-star review.

Harden the security of your site by preventing unauthorized access to stale user accounts.

This plugin is also ideal for sites needing to meet certain industry security compliances – such as government, banking or healthcare.

In the plugin settings you can set the maximum number of days users are allowed to use the same password (90 days by default), as well as which user roles will be required to reset their passwords regularly (non-Administrators by default).

Languages supported:

  • English
  • Czech
  • Español

Development of this plugin is done on GitHub. Pull requests welcome. Please see issues reported there before going to the plugin forum.

Screenshots

  • Configure which user roles should be required to regularly reset their passwords and how often.
  • Users with expired passwords are redirected to the password reset screen upon sign in.
  • Users are not permitted to use the same password two times in a row during reset.

Excellent Plugin

Eli June 22, 2018 2 replies
This is very handy, I'm paranoiac when it comes to security, it's sad that the plugin seems to be abandoned 🙁 PS: The author has responded and stated the plugin is NOT abandoned so I have changed the title of my review.

Excelent

Professional, simple, reliable. I made translation to Hungarian. Can I upload or send it to you?

Great feature, but a previous version of plugin locked out all our users

vtq January 8, 2017 4 replies
Edit: This plugin provides a great feature many WordPress admins will want. I would suggest keeping one admin account with a permanent (very strong) password to avoid being locked out in case something malfunctions - as it did to me in an earlier version. Old review: Seemed to be exactly what we needed, now when passwords expire resetting to a new password does not change the password expire message, meaning all our users are locked out. This meant we had to put in a request to our server team to disable the plugin via folder rename, just to get any access.

Solid and easy to use

This plugin should be mandatory or built-in into wordpress. Easy to setup, use and it just works.
