I chose a 1-day interval (since 0 wasn’t a valid option), expecting passwords to be force-changed tomorrow, but the plugin immediately prompted me to change my password. That’s what I wanted, so I liked it. Otherwise, that could come as a surprise to some people. Thank you. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/787b6ed3a3510de05e95b3f1a0e3030441027fe420c17eadcb205ddb7b8385ac? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-20488/)󠁿 [Janokapapa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/janokapapa/) January 17, 2019 Working great 🙂 tested with 5.0.3 [ Read all 2 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/chris-force-password-reset/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Force Password Reset” is open source software.
