[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 1104610, member: 91306"] I'm only talking about password length on a [U]physical device[/U] such as a laptop, in this case a COE laptop with Bitlocker-encryped full drive encryption. Is it not feasible to simply allow a shorter password length as long as 8 characters, with minimum requirement of at least one special character and and least one upper case character, as long as a policy is set to lockout of a threshold such as, for example, three failed attempts, for maybe one minute, be sufficient enough for security? I get it that online passwords for banking, for example, require a longer and more complex password along with 2FA is required because of off-line hacking attempts is required for better security, but for a laptop, this extra long password requirement should probably not be required. Am I wrong and if so, why? [/QUOTE]
