Re: Who is using Passphrase over 16 characters

We are using a minimal of 12+ here but would also like to move to 16+ passphrase in the next year or so.

Hi all,

We have been supporting 2 password policies for several years and would like to move to 1 (the 16+ character 
passphrase).  Wondering how many of you have adopted a longer/stronger passphrase policy?

For ease of response – anyone using passphrase policy requiring at least 12 characters?



Feel free to contact me off list if you prefer.
