Your password policy should be such that passwords are:

  1. User-generated

  2. Length and Complexity:

    1. are at least 12-16 characters long and

    2. include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

  3. Avoid Common Words and Patterns like "password," "123456," or sequential keyboard patterns like "qwerty."

  4. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Implement two-factor or multi-factor authentication for an additional layer of security.
