There are a number of password related features that WordPress has for passwords on the backend of the site. However, it's in the benefit of site security for these to be used on the front of the site with WP User Manager login and registration forms.

To do this, you need to have the [Security addon](https://wpusermanager.com/addons/security/) installed.
