NIST’s new guidelines say you need a minimum of 8 characters. (That’s not a maximum minimum – you can increase the minimum password length for more sensitive accounts.) Better yet, NIST says you should allow a maximum length of at least 64. Also, applications must allow all printable ASCII characters, including spaces, and should accept all UNICODE characters, too, including emoji!
Therefore, this issue wants to track all the improvements being made to our DAF's password policies.
