It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when
used with more recent versions of WordPress.

## Kuvaus

This plugin sets a default minimum password length of 10 characters, to ensure that
passwords are suitably long that they are hard to guess. However, it does not insist
on any complexity rules, such as digits and special characters, as length is the
most important thing when making a password hard to guess.

This plugin uses Troy Hunt’s [Pwned Passwords API](https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords)
in order to check a user’s potential password against a corpus of breached passwords.

The password itself is never sent to any third party, only a partial hash is sent.
This means that the password entered will always be private.

As an added bonus, this plugin also upgrades the hashing algorithm used when storing
your password in the database. This is a secure one-way hash created using the [Bcrypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt)
or [Argon2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon2) algorithm.

Perfect for my needs, as it doesn’t attempt to enforce overly complex password rules,
it just allows me to set a minimum length, and checks new passwords against Have
I Been Pwned to make sure it’s not been previously included in a breach. Can also
store passwords using stronger hashing algorithms than the WordPress default.

I like this plugin because it is simple in its design, easy to use, and strong in
its password protection. I highly recommend it. Cybersecurity is a fast moving domain,
and this plugin smartly used a standards-based approach that makes it easy to keep
your website password security to the latest levels of available protection.

I use this plugin on all of my sites – it not only checks if a used password is 
included in a haveibeenpwned.com leak, but also forces Wordpress to use more secure
hashing algorithms for saving passwords. Highly recommended!
