Screenshots
The configurable login security policies in the plugin.
The plugin is highly configurable, as can be seen in this screenshot.
You can configure different login security policies for every user role, or exclude the role from the policies, or simply inherit the site-wide policies for every role.
Users are notified when their password expires.
It is very easy for a user to know what their password should include or not because the policies which are not met when setting a new password are highlighted in red.
Users are always notified via easy to understand notifications so they are not hindered from using secure passwords.
