Well, crappy NOW; back then, the longer the password and the more complex it was meant that it would take something like l0phtcrack longer to brute force the damn thing, because things like rainbow tables didn't exist, and you couldn't rent compute time in order to brute force a password file overnight like you can now.
But now? pass phrases, the longer the better.
Some of our password policies at [RedactedCo] are actually requirements from the regulatory agency and the local government that allows us to even exist.
