“Strong Password Enforcement” setting causing PW reset/user creation issues
-
When I turn on the Strong Password Enforcement setting, and try to create a new user, WordPress tells me the password is “strong” but it won’t let me save, giving me the error “Due to site rules, a strong password is required. Please choose a new password that rates as Strong on the meter. The user has not been created.” When I turn off your plugin’s Strong Password Enforcement setting, the system lets me save my “strong” password user. Your setting says it is “…as rated by the WordPress password meter.” However, there is clearly something different between your version of “strong” and wordpress’s password meter version of “strong” and it is super confusing when the system says my password is strong, but won’t let me save it.

I think I’ve found where the bug is and how to fix it.
It’s a very simple fix. Does need a change in the code which means the fix
will be undone when updating the plugin.Moreover, iTheme doesn’t respect the min. role for enforcement : I set it to “contributor” and but it’s active for “Subscriber”.
What action are you performing when observing this behavior:
1. Updating profile of an existing (subscriber) user (within WordPress Dashboard).
2. Creating a new (subscriber) user (within WordPress Dashboard).
3. Resetting password for an existing (subscriber) user (following the Lost your password? link on the login page).
