By default, Smart Form asks customers to create a strong password when they register — at least 8 characters, including upper- and lower-case letters, a number, and a symbol. If that is too strict for your store, you can relax the rule so customers can use simpler passwords.
Where to find it
- Go to WooCommerce → Email Verification → Settings → Signup Verification.
- Set Form type to Smart Form — the password options only appear for Smart Form.
- Adjust the Require a strong password toggle and the Minimum password length dropdown (described below).
- Click Save changes.
Require a strong password
Default: On.
- On — the password must include upper- and lower-case letters, a number, and a symbol, and also meet the minimum length below.
- Off — only the minimum length is required, so customers can use simpler passwords.
Minimum password length
Default: 8 characters. The minimum number of characters a registration password must have — choose 6, 8, 10, or 12. This applies whether or not the strong-password rule is turned on.
These options apply to the Smart Form registration only; they do not change login or password resets. The rule is enforced both in the browser and on the server, so customers see a clear message if their password does not meet the requirement.
