• Your plugin gives a helpful error message when someone tries to enter a pwd that fails policy. You might consider including all the policy requirements. For example, if the user enters just lower case characters the error message looks something like:

    The password must be at least 12 characters
    The password must have at least one digit 0..9
    The password must have at least one upper case letter
    The password must have at least one symbol: !@#$%&*()[]{}

    It may be helpful to include the “The password must have at least one lower case letter” as well, rather than relying on it being obvious to the average user.

    On a different note, while User Security Tools does a good job on the error message, that message might be displayed a lot less often if users didn’t see the default WordPress guidance, “Hint: The password should be at least seven characters long”
