+ [Int0, Int1, Int2, Int3, Int4]
+ <p>
+ The minimum allowed password lengths for different kinds of passwords
+ and passphrases. "undef" can be used to disallow passwords of a given
+ kind regardless of their length. Each subsequent number is required to
+ be no larger than the preceding one.
+
+ <p>
+ Int0 is used for passwords consisting of characters from one character
+ class only. The character classes are: digits, lower-case letters,
+ upper-case letters, and other characters. There is also a special
+ class for non-ASCII characters, which could not be classified, but are
+ assumed to be non-digits.
+ <p>
+ Int1 is used for passwords consisting of characters from two character
+ classes that do not meet the requirements for a passphrase.
+ <p>
+ Int2 is used for passphrases. Note that besides meeting this length
+ requirement, a passphrase must also consist of a sufficient number of
+ words (see the "passphrase_words" option below).
+ <p>
+ Int3 and Int4 are used for passwords consisting of characters from
+ three and four character classes, respectively.
+
+ <p>
+ When calculating the number of character classes, upper-case letters
+ used as the first character and digits used as the last character of a
+ password are not counted.
+
+ <p>
+ In addition to being sufficiently long, passwords are required to
+ contain enough different characters for the character classes and the
+ minimum length they have been checked against.
+[% END %]
+
+[% desc_passwdqc_max = BLOCK %]
+ The maximum allowed password length. This can be used to prevent users
+ from setting passwords that may be too long for some system services.
+ It must be larger than 8.
+[% END %]
+
+[% desc_passwdqc_passphrase_words = BLOCK %]
+ The number of words required for a passphrase, or 0 to disable the
+ support for user-chosen passphrases.
+[% END %]
+
+[% desc_passwdqc_match_length = BLOCK %]
+ The length of common substring required to conclude that a password is
+ at least partially based on information found in a character string,
+ or 0 to disable the substring search. Note that the password will not
+ be rejected once a weak substring is found; it will instead be
+ subjected to the usual strength requirements with the weak substring
+ partially discounted.
+ <p>
+ The substring search is case-insensitive and is able to detect and
+ remove a common substring spelled backwards.
+[% END %]
+
+[% desc_random_bits = BLOCK %]
+ The size of randomly-generated passphrases in bits (24 to 85).
