    I found a work-around. Some of you might not like it, but it forces my users to have strong passwords.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/password-policy-manager/

    The reason this works is because if a user has a weak password, it will force them to update it to a strong password next time they log in.

    Yeah, yeah, I know it doesn’t make it happen when they fill in the BB forms, but it’s something. I threw in a once-only popup to let users know about the ‘policy change’ and the requirements are listed on the register page so they can get it done during initial signup. I’ll kill the popup in a couple weeks (because I hate them so..)

    Considering my site is brand new and hardly any users, no biggie.

    Hope this helps.
