I'm a proponent of only 1 simple rule: high min length. Most sites have min length of 8. Double that to 16-20. No max length, no other complicated restrictions

I'm a proponent of only 1 simple rule: high min length. Most sites have min length of 8. Double that to 16-20. No max length, no other complicated restrictions regarding characters. This instantly takes care of brute-forcing as a reasonable possibility, and forces good passphrase discipline on the user.
