    Hello

    If “Allow user to choose own password” is set to YES.

    And “Allow user to see wp-admin area” is set to NO.

    Where does the user set their own password?

    They can choose their own password when they sign up for an account. Otherwise, I believe the system will email them a generated password.

    Also, once they are registered, they can change their password in their profile settings. They have no reason to access your admin area.

    Hi Joy

    We have users already registered that want to set their own password (so the sign-up form isn’t available).

    If “Allow user to see wp-admin area” is set to NO then they cannot access the profile page.

    Any other suggestions on where the user can set their own password?

    I see. I would just advise users to use the “Forgot Password” link on the login form so that they can reset the password to their liking.

    The wp-admin area is the backend of your WordPress install. Do you want your users to be able to access that or just their front-end profiles? If you want them to access your WordPress backend, then you can untick the option.

    Hi Mike, if you want users to be able to change passwords without giving access to the backend, you can use our UsersWP plugin: https://userswp.io

    Thanks
