WP Password Generator

Screenshots

Notice: With the native password generation features being introduced in WordPress 4.3 this plugin is no longer necessary to generate strong passwords. You can read more about the plugin sunsetting on the developer’s blog. When administrators create new users through the WordPress admin interface (wp-admin/user-new.php), they are forced to come up with a password for the new user. The administrator is faced with a choice: use a separate password generator app or waste precious time coming up with a clever password only one person will ever see. WP Password Generator takes the hassle out of creating new user passwords. Simply click “Generate Password” and your user has a unique, 7-16 character password. The password generator function is also totally pluggable, so you can easily change the way passwords are generated in order to meet your standards. Please note that this plugin does require JavaScript to be enabled in order to work. Without JavaScript, the generator will simply be unavailable. Special Thanks Special thanks goes out to Greg Laycock for his input during the ongoing development of this plug-in. Additional thanks to WordPress users pampfelimetten for suggesting the plugin hook into the strength indicator and michapixel for recommending the ‘Show password’ feature. Dave Griffin and Marcel Kuiper also convinced me to expand to the user edit screen for version 2.5. David Mosterd of CodePress also contributed to the development of 2.6. Finally, Chris Van Patten of Van Patten Media has also contributed immensely to the ongoing development and refinement of the plugin.
