Installation Instructions
Automatic installation
Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don’t need to leave your web browser. To
do an automatic install of, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.
In the search field type “Advanced Password Security” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found our plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”.
Manual installation
The manual installation method involves downloading our plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.
Updating
Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.
Do my regular users need to change their password too?
No! By default the plugin asks for Administrators, Editors, Authors and Contributors to change their password.
Your subscribers will not be disturbed.
How often should I ask admins to change their password?
How often as you’d like. By default, it is set to once a month. Just remember that the number in the settings is the amount in days.
