 * Hi there,
 * I want to edit this text “Hint: The password should be at least twelve characters
   long. To make it stronger, use upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols
   like ! ” ? $ % ^ & ).” and put other text like “test test test” , I found the
   original text in the po file, and I changed it but I know that If I update wordpress,
   the file will be replaced. What could I do? copy the po file to other location?
   but where?
 * Thanks in advance

 * [@jcastaneda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcastaneda/) offers a solution
   that involves a filter that you can place in a plugin, or your active theme’s
   functions.php file. Take a look at this conversation and see if it might be something
   you could try. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-wordpress-password-hint/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-wordpress-password-hint/)
