Passphrases with at least 4 words
Summary
The system must require passphrases to be at least 4 words long and allow them to have 64 characters or more.
Description
Passwords are identity assertion elements that can be easily forgotten. Passphrases are sequences of words that are longer than passwords but are also easier to remember. Thus, systems should enforce the use of passphrases at least 4 words long and allow them to have 64 characters or more.
