NIST 800-63B Recommendations: Modern guidelines emphasize password length over complexity. Avoid forcing arbitrary complexity rules (uppercase, numbers, symbols) as they often lead to predictable patterns. Instead, focus on minimum length (8+ characters), checking against breached password lists, and allowing passphrases.
