Adding strong passwords to users

Use the following steps to add strong passwords when creating new users on the site:

1. Click the Users menu to get a list of users on the site.
2. Click the Add New button to create a new user.
3. Add the mandatory details for the user, such as username and email address.
4. Click the Show Password button to show a dynamic password.

5. Type the password you intend for the new user.
6. Change the password until the password meter shows Strong in green background. Make sure not to use the Confirm use of weak password option.
7. Click the Add New User button to create the user.

Now, the user will be created with a strong password that makes it more difficult for an attacker to guess the password.
