Can tell a business will go the way of the dodo when it requires passwords to have janky symbols, forced capitalization, or weird numbers of letters (sh.itjust.works)

I will put the bold claim out there that if companies like banks salt your password and lock you out after 4 attempts you don't really need that much in the way of end user password complexity. The only practical attack at that point is denial of service.
