Strong Password with Uppercase, Number, Special Character

Hello,

I’m currently discovering the plugin, and I think I’m managing to use the basic functionalities for now. However, I have 2 questions:
1. Regarding 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication): Is there anything available for this, as I haven’t seen anything specific about it within the plugin? Should it be coupled with another plugin? If so, which one is compatible, as I have Wordfence 2FA, and it doesn’t seem to work!
2. Regarding password input during account creation: Is it possible to enforce a strong password that requires a minimum of 1 Uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character? If so, I haven’t been able to locate where to set this up. If not, is it possible to integrate a compatible plugin to achieve this?
Thank you in advance.

My setup: WordPress 6.8.3, PHP 8.4, Ultimate Member (latest version).

1. The “WP 2FA” plugin works together with UM and you can try this integration code snippet:

https://github.com/MissVeronica/UM-Two-factor-authentication

2. There is a “strong password” option.

The strong password conditions require each password to have at least 1 letter and number and at least 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase letter.

You will find all Password settings in this UM Guide:

There is also a free UM Extended “Password Strength Estimator” plugin:

Thank you for the quick reply.

I’ll take a look at WP 2FA and see if it can run alongside Wordfence without any issues.

Regarding point 2, I had already checked the documentation about the requirement for at least one uppercase and lowercase letter, as well as a number. So I understand that special characters (/?#@&!…) are not enforced by default.

The Password Strength Estimator extension looks great and very promising, but I couldn’t find it in the WordPress plugin store under that name. I also tried downloading the ZIP from this GitHub release page (https://github.com/ultimatemember/Extended/releases), but without success.

I’m still a beginner, so I might be missing some tricks here!

'/[\p{Lu}]/u', // any Letter Uppercase symbol
'/[\p{Ll}]/u', // any Letter Lowercase symbol
'/[\p{N}]/u', // any Number symbol
```

Your password cannot contain the part of your username

Great news about the GitHub issue — that’s awesome! Hopefully it’ll be included in the starter pack, so free of charge. I did have the ZIP file, but I completely missed that page: https://ultimatemember.github.io/docs-v3/extended/installation.html
