## Beschreibung

Force your admins and/or selected roles to update their password to a new one after
a set amount of time. Users will also be unable to use a previously used password.

#### FORCE SPECIFIC ROLES TO CHANGE THEIR PASSWORDS

On the settings page, you can select which roles you want to enforce the password
reset.

#### WHY FORCE ADMINS TO DO THIS?

If your site has several admins, all it takes is for one of them to have a weak 
password or to not change it often for someone to figure it out or brute force attack
it. With access to only one of your admin accounts, the hacker can take total control
of your website.

By forcing admins to change their password often and not allowing them to use previously
used password, you add another layer of security to your data.

#### PRIVACY POLICY

This plugin does not share any data from the site or its users. The only data that
is stored in the site’s database is the previously used encrypted passwords of users
so they can’t use those again. That information never leaves the server where the
plugin is installed and is never shared.

We do not have access to this or any other information.

## Installation

#### 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](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation).

#### 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.
