Sorry I was wrong about the key=value stuff as that's all for your config
file, ignore that part.

I would however, change this, which isn't valid syntax on the first term at
least to:

with_nested:
      - [ 'system' 'password' ]
      - [ 'auth [default=die] pam_faillock.so authfail deny=3
unlock_time=604800 fail_interval=900' 'auth required pam_faillock.so
authsucc deny=3 unlock_time=604800


with_nested:
     - listone
     - listtwo

to make it a little cleaner, then up in vars, structure like so:

vars:
   listone:
       - system
       - password
   listtwo:
       - 'really long options string one'
       - 'really long options string two'

And in the task:

{{ item.1 }} and {{ item.2 }} are your variables.

It may also be cleaner to just have two tasks unless you want both settings
in both files.  I'm not sure.
