Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Correct Horse Battery Staple version 1.1.0 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.8.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin replaces WordPress’s default strong password generator with one to create passwords in a style similar to those described in the XKCD Password Strength comic.
The XKCD style passwords are generated on the Add New User and Your Profile Admin pages.
The plugin will generate four word passwords using words of up to seven letters with dashes between the words.
This plugin works on UNIX-based servers (including Linux & MacOS). The words are randomly selected from the operating system’s dictionary list of over 235000 words. As Windows servers do not contain this file, the plugin will have no effect on a Windows server.
In additon to the features of the free plugin, there is an advanced version available from cubecolour called Correct Horse Battery Staple Plus which adds the following capabilities and features:
Use for self-registered users (single site and multisite)
Use for Password resets
Choice of different number of words in the password
Append a numerical suffix to the password
Option for one of the password words to be all uppercase
