You can use the woocommerce_min_password_strength filter for it.
De default is 3, so you can use the follow code in your theme’s functions.php or writing a custom plugin to achieve it:
function my_custom_wc_min_password_strength() {
return 2;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_min_password_strength', 'my_custom_wc_min_password_strength' );

Oh! Thank you Claudio for your answer!
Unfortunatly, you are to me like in chinese language ! I’m pretty beginner but I can/want to learn about it.
Can you explain more about the “woocommerce_min_password_strength”, please?
Where can I find it?
Or should I just copy/paste this code line into my current functions.php (Child theme i guess !?)
Thanks for your help.
You just need to add that code to your theme functions.php file. 3 is default strength. 2 is less.

When you mean add the code to the functions.php, is it this one :
htdocs > wp-includes > functions.php ?
and add the code anywhere ?
and where put the number ?:
function my_custom_wc_min_password_strength(HERE????) {
return 2; <—–(or here)
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_min_password_strength’, ‘my_custom_wc_min_password_strength’ );
Just have to download the functions.php from my Cyberduck, modify an download again ?
No that is not where you should place the code. You need to place it somewhere that updates won’t override the changes. This guide will help: https://www.skyverge.com/blog/add-custom-code-to-wordpress/
Also, you don’t need to change the number – 2 is what you need I believe. After the ‘return’ text is the strength amount.
This is a bit outside the scope of forum support though, so if you need help with the code then you might want to consider hiring a developer:

I did change by the “claudio sanchez” code, but did not work.
I installed it into my child theme functions.php
this one is working:
/**
*Reduce the strength requirement on the woocommerce password.
*
* Strength Settings
* 3 = Strong (default)
* 2 = Medium
* 1 = Weak
* 0 = Very Weak / Anything
*/
function reduce_woocommerce_min_strength_requirement( $strength ) {
return 2;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_min_password_strength’, ‘reduce_woocommerce_min_strength_requirement’ );
Not even Claudio Sanches’s code worked for me.
