FAQ
-
How does it work?
-
When you click rest passwords, the plugin recreates random passwords for every user and emails them the reset password link.
-
Will I be secure now from a hack?
-
Not necessarily. We advise you change your SALTS in the wp-config.php file which will force logouts for all users. WordPress provide a tool to generate new ones.
You can now reset them automatically from the plugin Dashboard>Settings>Reset SALTs
