SuperSession, combine password/passphrase

We need SuperSession to use the same field for password and passphrase entry. If the input is 8 characters or less it should pass the input to password and if the input entered is 9 characters or more it would send the input to passphrase. Most of the other IBM products do this like TSO. We do not want two fields on the screen. When we cut over to passphrase we do not want to do a mass conversion(but a slower group by group approach) and having two inputs fields on a screen would be to confusing for the end user. See more discussion on the PMR. We will need to implement this before September 2019 of this year so we need a quick resolve on this. Let's see what we can do. Thanks.
