Until National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53 revision 5 is officially published, the password policy recommendations used to develop these rules fall under NIST SP 800-53 revision 4. NIST SP 800-53 revision 4 was released with the guidance published in NIST SP 800-63 at the time, however, NIST SP 800-63 has been revised a number of times since then. At this time, the recommendation is for organizations to adopt the newer published guidance defined in NIST SP 800-63.
