Overview

This WordPress plugin is designed to enhance the security of your website by preventing unauthorized access to inactive user accounts. It is particularly beneficial for websites that must adhere to specific industry security standards, such as those in government, banking, or healthcare sectors. The plugin allows administrators to set a maximum number of days users can retain the same password, with a default of 90 days, and to specify which user roles must regularly reset their passwords, typically excluding Administrators by default. Supported languages include English, Czech, and Español. Development and ongoing improvements are managed on GitHub, where contributions and issue reports are encouraged.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate this WordPress plugin for its security features, particularly the ability to enforce regular password changes, thereby enhancing site security. They find it professional, simple, and reliable, with a user-friendly setup process. The plugin’s code quality is also highly praised. However, some have encountered issues, such as being locked out when password resets don't update the expiry message. Nonetheless, issues have been addressed by the author efficiently. Users also value the additional plugin for generating strong passwords, suggesting that both together significantly bolster site security. There were initial concerns about the plugin being abandoned, which were clarified by the author.

This is very handy, I’m paranoiac when it comes to security, it’s sad that the plugin seems to be abandoned 🙁 PS: The author has responded and stated the plugin is NOT abandoned so I have changed the title of my review. This topic was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by Eli.

Professional, simple, reliable. I made translation to Hungarian. Can I upload or send it to you?

Edit: This plugin provides a great feature many WordPress admins will want. I would suggest keeping one admin account with a permanent (very strong) password to avoid being locked out in case something malfunctions – as it did to me in an earlier version. Old review: Seemed to be exactly what we needed, now when passwords expire resetting to a new password does not change the password expire message, meaning all our users are locked out. This meant we had to put in a request to our server team to disable the plugin via folder rename, just to get any access. This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by vtq. Reason: Issue fixed by plugin author

This plugin should be mandatory or built-in into wordpress. Easy to setup, use and it just works.
