Changing Our Password Policy

[Tiberius]

Just wondered if we could have the name 'password' changed to something more appropriate, because unless you're incredibly verbose you'll struggle to find a twelve letter word? Passphrase or pass-sentence are equally acceptable replacements

This is one of the most common misunderstandings of passwords. A password is not a dictionary word; in fact, it should never be found in any dictionary on the planet...ever. Ignore the "word" bit of "password" and instead think of them as a secret value that only you know, and that cannot be easily guessed.

Alas, I cannot change the wording, as it appears far too often throughout the site. All I can do is put the limits on what passwords you can choose, which I've done.
