after you have created the passphrase question to save the changes and exit the page.The passphrase answer is specified by the user when he or she sets up the passphrase question and answer. Ideally, passphrase answers must contain a minimum of six characters. However, you can change the policy to suit your security requirement. For more information, see Section 5.2, Changing a Passphrase Policy.
We recommend that you do not apply strict policies to passphrase answers as it make them harder to remember. Instead, we recommend you to use a multivalue question, such as What is you driving license number plus Your Mother’s name? and set a passphrase policy based on that.
