I believe that the more complex a password is, the more likely the user
is to write it on a post-it note and stick it on their monitor.
I tell my users to use the address they grew up at. 1234maple for
example.
If I have my way we will all have smart cards here this time next year
and it won't matter.

According to Mark Minasi from his security tour if you have users make a
passphrase or password longer than 13 characters it would take a hacker
500 centuries to hack it!
So never mind doing complex passwords and just require a 13 character or
more password or passphrase and you will be good to go. An example is:
My dogs name is spot

Hello again..
We are looking to implement complex passwords......I understand
that the passwords can be combinations of
upper/lowercase/alpha-numeric/symbols but what are the minimum
requirements. Does the password need to contain at least one symbol? One
number? Etc....
Thanks
