 > Systems should be "secure by default", not "secure when you install the
 right plugin".

 Totally agree with this. We manage some 100+ WP sites. The fact that we
 have to install a plugin to get a longer/more complex password than 12
 characters for all the Administrators here is insane. Plugins are not a
 solution to every problem, and basic security Should be part of core for
 any application. DB already supports it, we just need the implementation
 for Admin to set min-required pass length.
