The updated NIST guidelines recommend that organizations focus on memorable passwords rather than complex strings, as frequent changes often lead to weaker, predictable passwords.
Jeff Watkins, CTO at CreateFuture, argues that older password complexity rules are ineffective as they lower the search space for cracking and are not user-friendly.
The guidance from NIST and NCSC emphasizes the importance of multi-factor authentication and underscores that simplification in password policy enhances overall security.
Experts like Joshua Walsh suggest that frequent password changes lead users to create simpler passwords, ultimately making systems less secure.
