Re:Why haven't password complexity rules gone away yet? by Alifatisk on Sunday July 30, 2023 @01:56PM (#36934018)
My last job forced us to create a password with:

- minimum of 21 characters

- has to contain capital letter

- numbers

- special character

I had a discussion with someone on the IT department on why this was unnecessary and he agreed but said they were forced by higher ups.

Oddly, “Minimumof21Characters.” Seems to meet that need.

Management should never set password policies, but I’ll bet that in a large number of firms that’s the case.
