Password Strength Meter BUG
-
WordPress 4.4.2
WooCommerce 2.5.4
Production Website: https://www.supergoop.comI’m not sure how long the “password strength” meter / functionality has been live, but customers have complained that they cannot reset their passwords.
As I tested it, it seems that the regex is buggy. As I type, the password can go from valid > invalid > back to valid by adding *additional* characters. Also, some passwords that satisfy the (poorly-defined) requirements also fail to validate.
For example:
SamplePass2015!# => invalid (weak) …. why is this invalid? certainly not weak
SamplePass2015!## => valid (medium) …. why?
SamplePass2015!### => invalid (weak) …. ?
SamplePass2015!#### => invalid (weak) …. ?
SamplePass2015!##### => valid (medium) …. ?This is a critical issue, as it’s keeping users from successfully registering and resetting passwords.
Please advise.
