🔒Modern guidance favors long, memorable passphrases over short, complex passwords. Length provides far more effective entropy than symbol substitution, making offline brute-force attacks exponentially harder for attackers using modern GPU rigs.

Implement by raising minimum length, dropping forced complexity, and blocking compromised credentials in real time.
