US government sites are the worst about this. They'll have some arbitrary set of rules like

  1. Must be exactly 6 characters
  2. Must use a letter, a special character, and an Egyptian hieroglyph
  3. Must not use the characters *(/2€÷
  4. Must use exactly one of the following characters _6]>
  5. Must start with a number and end with a bowel

Like, dude... These are sites that have ALL of your information, and they're managed by complete idiots.

No one with a bowel should be trusted with your password.
