I am a Developer Advocate for Security in Mobile Apps and APIs at approov.io.
Another passion is the Elixir programming language that was designed to be concurrent, distributed and fault tolerant.

Personally I would not allow less than 12 characters in a password, 8 is now easy to crack with enough computer cpu... just my 2 cents.
I really recommend to read some of or all articles on this series troyhunt.com/tag/passwords/
