**Configuration required**
Ubuntu 14.04 does not set a password length requirement by default. The STIG
recommends passwords to be a minimum of 14 characters in length. To apply this
setting, set the following Ansible variable:
.. code-block:: yaml
password_minimum_length: 14
Deployers are urged to avoid the use of passwords and rely upon SSH keys if
possible.
