Description

The libpam-pwquality package can be installed with the following command:


$ apt-get install libpam-pwquality

Rationale

Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. “pwquality” enforces complex password construction configuration and has the ability to limit brute-force attacks on the system.
