The miniOrange Password Policy Manager plugin helps you enforce strong and secure password policies with features like password reset, password expiry, password score, and strong password rules.
You can manage user passwords efficiently using the user password manager, password strength meter, and history manager to enhance overall password security.
In case of a breach, take quick action with one-click password reset, lock inactive users, and enforce random password rules.
This ensures complete protection by securing passwords, and managing both active and lock inactive users to prevent password-based attacks.

Although the plugin’s description claims “Auto Password Expiry” is included in the FREE, it isn’t really. What is included in the free version is a 7 week expiry that you can’t change. That’s misleading – if this was in the description, I wouldn’t have bothered installing it.
7 weeks is way too frequent, even corporate giants use 3 months password expiry.
I know you need users to have a reason to upgrade to premium (there are plenty of good premium features) – but without the ability to set our own password expiry, this plugin is just a glorified password strength enforcer (Wordfence does that anyway).
I had a little problem with the page redirect which was solved very quickly and professionally
does what you need it to do. customer service is super responsive!
We have many websites, and it became a problem to follow and maintain password policy across all sites.
Tested several solutions and came across miniOrange – Password Policy Manager and it performed very well.
Their support has been amazing, and they have made some extra professional customization to fit our exact requirements.
We would recommend it for anyone to use 😊
We’re using this plugin on a site where strong passwords and password compliance are a must, and Password Policy Manager does a wonderful job.
The interface is clear and has everything we need without being overwhelming with options.
The plugin has been made with attention to detail and has some nice touches that make it easy for users to set a password that matches the policies set in the admin. This way it helps create a good user-experience.
