Do we want to update the drift rules in this PR or do that in a separate PR? https://github.com/cisagov/ScubaGoggles/blob/442-new-nist-password-guidelines-%2B-changing-password-length-policy/drift-rules/GWS%20Drift%20Monitoring%20Rules%20-%20Common%20Controls%20as%20of%2011-14-23.csv ?

🗣 Description
[NIST's guidance] (https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-63b.html#passwordver) is: "Verifiers and CSPs SHALL require passwords to be a minimum of eight characters in length and SHOULD require passwords to be a minimum of 15 characters in length." Based on internal discussion we are looking to adopt as split SHALL/SHOULD approach for the policy.
