      NIST compliance is 15 characters. That’s it. No stupid cycling every three months. No stupid special characters.

        I wonder why passphrases fell out of style? If you remembered a series of random words like you were activating the freaking Winter Soldier, boom, 40+ characters!

          I have a system of using month and year plus a common trailing string. My annoyance is that every year the last number on the year keeps moving.
