Ok features, but password expiry is PREMIUM
Although the plugin's description claims "Auto Password Expiry" is included in the FREE, it isn't really. What is included in the free version is a 7 week expiry that you can't change. That's misleading - if this was in the description, I wouldn't have bothered installing it. 7 weeks is way too frequent, even corporate giants use 3 months password expiry.I know you need users to have a reason to upgrade to premium (there are plenty of good premium features) - but without the ability to set our own password expiry, this plugin is just a glorified password strength enforcer (Wordfence does that anyway).

Well thought out plugin with excellent support
We're using this plugin on a site where strong passwords and password compliance are a must, and Password Policy Manager does a wonderful job. The interface is clear and has everything we need without being overwhelming with options. The plugin has been made with attention to detail and has some nice touches that make it easy for users to set a password that matches the policies set in the admin. This way it helps create a good user-experience. Best of all, the developers offer excellent support, both in the free and premium versions. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good for my customers to prevent easy passwords
Since the first hour of creating new wordpress-blogs we are under constant attack. I have to prove that the people I take care of don't use easy passwords for laziness. I do not have any trouble, works great for me.
