Ok features, but password expiry is PREMIUM
by lukascech·1 year ago

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).

Great features and support !
by shaypenini·2 years ago

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 😊

Well thought out plugin with excellent support
by Dave·2 years ago

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.

Best of all, the developers offer excellent support, both in the free and premium versions.

Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
