I'd better start thinking of some really wacky passwords to meet these new requirements. Maybe I'll use emojis!

That could work too, but I think monitoring password strength in the Google Admin console is important for ensuring compliance.

I'm with Antoniois on this one. Option B is the easiest way to implement the new password requirements across the board.

Haha, 20 characters? That's longer than my entire password used to be! This new policy is insane.

D is the correct answer. We need to sync the AD password policy with Google Workspace using GCDS. Simple and straightforward.

I agree with Herschel. Enabling strong password enforcement at the top-level organizational unit seems like the best approach.

Option B seems like the way to go. Enforcing the password policy directly in Google Workspace makes the most sense for our transition.
