    Hi, Users creating passwords are unable to do so as it comes up with Weak – Please enter a stronger password.
    This is a bit extreme because I’ve tried and the passwords I’ve used on other things which all work just fine are being rejected and need so many extra letters/numbers for the site to accept them. Can I change this?
    Thanks,

    It’s default wordpress behavior to enforce strong passwords.

    To disable this function add this snippet on your snippets plugin or on your child theme functions.php file.

    /**
 * Remove password strength check.
 */
function woodmart_remove_password_strength() {
    wp_dequeue_script( 'wc-password-strength-meter' );
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'woodmart_remove_password_strength', 10 );

    To be honest I only know who to add to the themes Customs CSS setting, how do I add this ‘snippets’ or how do I access the functions.php file in the child theme?

    Install this plugin and add the snippet there.

    Also if you want you can lower the strength requirement by changing the number after return to the corresponding below. Use this snippet OR the previous one.

    /**
 * Change the strength requirement on the woocommerce password
 *
 * Strength Settings
 * 4 = Strong
 * 3 = Medium (default) 
 * 2 = Also Weak but a little stronger 
 * 1 = Password should be at least Weak
 * 0 = Very Weak / Anything
 */
add_filter( 'woocommerce_min_password_strength', 'woodmart_change_password_strength' );
 
function woodmart_change_password_strength( $strength ) {
	 return 4;
}
