FBI recommends using passphrases instead of complex passwords

FBI suggests using longer passwords combining multiple words into a long string of at least 15 characters instead of short passwords with special characters Recent guidance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) highlights that the password length is much more important than password complexity. The recommendations are part of the Protected Voices initiative launched by the FBI to help 2020 political campaigns and American voters protect against online foreign interference. The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have provided guidance and information as part of the Protected Voices campaign.
