Why are E-Verify password requirements so strict?

DHS policy sets strict password standards.  E-Verify adheres to government-wide standards to ensure the security and privacy of personally identifiable information. This includes user information, case information and employee verification information. Passwords provide the first line of defense against unauthorized access as well as authentication of authorized users. More information on password standards is available in DHS 4300A Sensitive Systems Handbook.
