Hey, so we discussed in the meeting, FAS's password requirements are currently very lax - just a minimum length of 8 characters. What do we think the requirements should be changed to? One possible strength checker that I mentioned during the meeting was: http://www.nongnu.org/python-crack/ This can use a dictionary to detect weak passwords. Thoughts?
