This plugin sets 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 important thing when making hard to guess..
This plugin uses Troy Hunt's Pwned Passwords API order to check user's against corpus of breached passwords..
The password itself is never sent to any third party, only partial hash is sent.
This means that the password entered will always be private..
As added bonus, this plugin also upgrades the algorithm used when storing your in the database.
This is secure one-way hash created using Bcrypt algorithm...
Better Passwords is open software.
