## FAQ

**Q: How do I access the plugin settings?**  
A: Go to `WooCommerce` > `Settings` > `Accounts & Privacy` to find and adjust the password strength settings.

**Q: Can I use custom values for password length?**  
A: Currently, the plugin uses predefined dropdown options for password length. Custom values are not supported.

**Q: What happens if I set a password length below the minimum value?**  
A: The plugin automatically enforces a minimum password length of 6 characters.

**Q: What is a suitable setting?**
