The pam_pwquality module's 'minlen' parameter controls requirements for minimum characters required in a password. Add 'minlen=15' after pam_pwquality to set minimum password length requirements.


Parameter:

[min_number_of_characters]


Technical Mechanism:

Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. Use of more characters in a password helps to exponentially increase the time and/or resources required to compromise the password.
