[ARIN-Suggestions] New ACSP 2018.22: Align ARIN password policy with current NIST SP800-63 recommendations

[ARIN]

On 6 October, we received a new suggestion, numbered 2018.22 upon 
confirmed receipt.

https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2018-22.html

Description: Align ARIN password policy with current NIST SP800-63 
recommendations (published June 2017)

Executive summary at 
https://www.nist.gov/blogs/taking-measure/easy-ways-build-better-p5w0rd

TL;DR - a long passphrase with no special characters or capitalization 
is far more secure than a p4SSw0rD&!!

Value to Community: Improved security.


This suggestion is currently being reviewed, and we will issue our 
response as soon as it is available.
