Biggest opportunity: Add “strength” to your wp.org tags. You rank #12 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 28.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Security plugin keeps 1.4%, across 1,061 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Security plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| strength | #12 | #19 | down 2 |
| password strength your tag | #15 | #22 | down 2 |
| password enforcement | #18 | #21 | 0 |
| password your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| security your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| woocommerce your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
6 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 3 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “strength” to your wp.org tags. You rank #12 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.
- One page off on “password strength”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Release cadence

The first password strenght plugin what work for me! Thank you very mutch!

Thank you for your plugin. I found it ridiculous from Woocommerce not to put the password strengh enforcement as an option. It might be useful if you sell luxury cars, gold or if you’re a bank but if you just have a simple ecommerce website, you’re just gonna lose customers. It’s working like a charm 🙂

I had to install this 😉 Customers forced me too. Generally I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, as you shouldn’t do that. But the plugin just works. Thanks.

I recently encountered a problem when setting up my woocommerce store where users were forced to make passwords that were both lengthly and contained symbols as well as uppercase letters. As a user of many websites that enforce those rules, I immediately detested the option and looked to disable it. After searching through every nook and cranny of the options of my blog and googling for a solution numerous times to no avail, I finally found this plugin. It solves my problem perfectly. Would recommend!
