To disable the WordPress password strength meter, you can use the wp_enqueue_scripts
hook to dequeue the script responsible for password strength validation. Here’s an example of how you can disable the password strength meter:
function wpsnippets_disable_password_strength_meter() {
if ( wp_script_is( 'wc-password-strength-meter', 'enqueued' ) ) {
wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-password-strength-meter' );
}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpsnippets_disable_password_strength_meter', 9999 );
This code checks if the wc-password-strength-meter
script is enqueued and dequeues it if it is. The high priority of 9999
ensures that it runs late in the enqueueing process to ensure the script is dequeued properly.
By adding this code snippet, you will disable the password strength meter functionality in WordPress, and users will no longer see the password strength indicator when setting or resetting their passwords.
