changing password length | WordPress.org

Hi!

I’m working for a site that doesn’t want 32-character passwords; so in edd-auto-register.php, I changed this line:

'user_pass' => wp_generate_password( 32, false),

to 10 characters. Obviously I don’t like messing with plugins! Is there a way that I can stick this code in my own plugin?

Thanks! Really happy with this plugin in general.
Dan

Yes you can, are you familiar with how to use a filter?

Here’s a great post on using them:

Hi! Here’s what I added to my private plugin:
```
function edd_auto_register_insert_user_args($user_args) {
	$myargs = array('user_pass' => wp_generate_password( 10 )	);
	$user_args = array_replace($user_args, $myargs);
	return $user_args;
}
add_filter( 'maybe_insert_user', 'edd_auto_register_insert_user_args');
```
That’s not working. Can I ask what I’m doing wrong?

Try this:
```
function edd_auto_register_change_user_pass( $args ) {

    $args['user_pass'] = wp_generate_password( 10 );

    return $args;
 }
 add_filter( 'edd_auto_register_insert_user_args', 'edd_auto_register_change_user_pass' );
```
