Hi

Is there a Wordpress plugin free or paid that allows me to expire passwords after 90 days or 120 days and lets me change the minimum charachters in a password to 16 ??
Any guidance or help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Nevenx, I saw this plugin earlier but it hasnt been maintained for over 4 years and so it is not ideal to continue using this, especially after release for majot updates from WP

I asked because there is already a snippet that does that designed for woocommerce. With a bit (more) of rework it can be adapted to plain wordpress.
Anyway if you don't use woocommerce just don't install it for this only. There are security plugins that offers you that (out of my mind but you can do a bit of research on google).

Thanks, I will look into this. Most of the security plugins I checked were unmaintained but will check again thanks
