If you create a new key using ssh-keygen, you are free to choose
whatever passphrase you want. Of course, security-wise it is a good idea
to change the passphrase every now and then. But the server cannot even
tell whether you are using any passhrase at all, so it cannot enforce
restrictions on the passphrase you choose.
