That's why we recommend passphrases. That 30 character requirement becomes much easier when it's 3-4 words with a separater. Faster to type, too.

Which does nothing for the "stupid people". I.e. the ones that we put these rules into place for. They'll do what I posted instead (or something else easily guessable and the cycle continues - technological solution to a people problem, i.e. doesn't work)

  • I would hate to be labeled 'stupid' everytime I don't want to type some 30 dumb characters everytime I login. How about no?

    • Different difference ;)

      I also don't want to type 30 chars, when 15 _properly randomly chosen_ characters would suffice but the "stupid people" chose those 15 characters as "passwordP@55w0rd" and now everyone requires us to write 30 instead because it's "so much more secure" when they write "passwordP@55w0rdpasswordP@55w0rd"
