Passwords SHALL either be chosen by the subscriber or assigned randomly by the CSP.
If the CSP disallows a chosen password because it is on a blocklist of commonly used, expected, or compromised values (see Sec. 3.1.1.2 ), the subscriber SHALL be required to choose a different password. Other composition requirements for passwords SHALL NOT be imposed. A rationale for this is presented in Appendix A , Strength of Passwords .
