The “Password Changed” email is – actually – a WordPress core notification. It goes to admins when a WordPress user changes their password, and the email body says something along the lines of “Password changed for user: XYZ“.
So, why are we saying this email notification can be stopped if you run a WooCommerce website? Well, because WooCommerce provides us developers with a handy filter, that we can use for this exact reason.
For what concerns my own experience, I use Sendgrid to deliver Business Bloomer WordPress/WooCommerce emails – and on the free plan I have a limit of 100 daily emails. Which means I needed to find a way to reduce the number of email notifications.
Today we’ll cover the “Password Changed” one – let’s see how to stop administrators from getting them!

PHP Snippet: Disable “Password Changed” Admin Email Notification (WordPress)
The WooCommerce plugin comes with this handy function, which triggers on the My Account page:
/**
* Handles resetting the user's password.
*
* @param object $user The user.
* @param string $new_pass New password for the user in plaintext.
*/
public static function reset_password( $user, $new_pass ) {
do_action( 'password_reset', $user, $new_pass );
wp_set_password( $new_pass, $user->ID );
self::set_reset_password_cookie();
if ( ! apply_filters( 'woocommerce_disable_password_change_notification', false ) ) {
wp_password_change_notification( $user );
}
}
This means we can use the ‘woocommerce_disable_password_change_notification‘ filter if we wish to disable the Password Changed emails:

*/
add_filter( 'woocommerce_disable_password_change_notification', '__return_true' );

This is not working. Showing errors.
Hello Pritam! You only need to paste the add_filter line, and not the previous function that is only there togive some context. Can you please let me know?
