Add in Password Confirmation Field
Another request I have had from some users is to bring back a second password field that validates the input they used in the first field.

Hello,
Thanks for sharing the post.
How to set minimum password length in woocommerce?
Can you share the code please?
Kindly reply.
Thanks again

Is there any way to do this, but rather than allowing incredibly simple passwords – you can choose a more moderate password?
