Password Reset Enforcement

Beskrivning

Enhance your WordPress website’s security by forcing users to reset their passwords.

Password Reset Enforcement is a simple yet powerful security plugin that allows site administrators to require users to update their passwords—ideal after a potential data breach, routine security checks, or during onboarding/offboarding processes.

Features

  • After session expiry: users are asked to reset after their current session ends.
• Multisite compatible (network-wide reset only).
• Optimized for performance on large-scale and enterprise WordPress installations.
