I used 1TSUX@ss! until they did a security audit.
It adheared to all their requirements. At least one number, character, punctuation, mixed small and caps, and over 7 keys.

You are making this more difficult than it needs to be. You may not like it, but have been given 2 solutions. Though you may not like either, make a decision and go on to the next problem.

what my peeve is is when they are case and punctuation sensitive and you don't get morre than 3 tries.
Was my capslock on that day ?
I used caps ? really ?

Well, I don't see either of them as "solutions" but as workarounds for a broken system. That's why I don't like them.

The fact that you cannot make up a fictional pet, elementary school, and city of birth and be able to retain them may mean something is broken -- but in all fairness it is not the system.

Those weren't the questions. If those were the questions, I'd agree with you.
