To specify password length requirements for new accounts, edit the file '/etc/login.defs' and add or correct the following lines: 'PASS_MIN_LEN 14


Parameter:

Technical Mechanism:

Requiring a minimum password length makes password cracking attacks more difficult by ensuring a larger search space. However, any security benefit from an onerous requirement must be carefully weighed against usability problems, support costs, or counterproductive behavior that may result.
