Password guidance .: BT39-47/2018E-PDF

"To cope with the complexity and the growing number of passwords they have to manage, users often resort to practices that inadvertently undermine the security that password rules set out to achieve. The Government of Canada (GC) therefore needs a new approach to ensure strong authentication measures yet reduce the burden on users. This guidance is for GC system owners and aims to promote user behaviours that improve rather than undermine system security"--Executive summary, p. 1.
