Password complexity for this community

What is this? 1Password Agile Bits should know better than to provide bad advice like this!

Count your blessings. I signed up to a system today that required 12 or more characters, and what read like, "three each of upper case, lower case, numerals, and special characters." Three each?! Turned out it was "Engrish." One each was sufficient. But I still don't like sites that impose such complexity when it's a long string. Three of the four character types is sufficiently rigid, for 1998. 

If only there was a way to have the computer remember the password for you, so you don't have to remember it yourself ...

Seriously though. I used 1Password's password generator to make up a new password for this forum. Five or more random words, with one or two of them capitalized, with random punctuation and digits between them. More than enough to satisfy the "rules" on the first try.

This is my normal routine ... if anything the problem I run into most often is sites that have a maximum password length which is too low. (I don't know how long this one was, probably in the low 50's?)

It would be very helpful to specify the maximum length.  Had to try several times to shorten it from the maximum 100 - finally ended up using 32 characters

Let's play https://neal.fun/password-game/, shall we? :) 

Yeah forcing your users on all these password requirements are really overwhelming.

I was disappointed that my first attempt told me that my password was too long. The popup with the rules didn't specify a maximum password length, so I used 1Password's largest option of 100 characters. 🤔

I hate password rules. I want my password to be what I want.
