AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Better Passwords is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Better Passwords works
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 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 or Argon2 algorithm.
