This idea came to light while talking with Shannon about #5756 [0].

It is 2024, so raising the minimum length for the root password as
entered during the installation from 5 to 8 characters seems very
sensible. NIST also recommends a minimum length of 8 characters for
passwords [1].

In the GUI installer, we already recommend passwords of length 8 or
greater during the respective installation step.

See also the respective patches for PVE [2] and PBS [3].
