Why do some companies make passwords so bloody difficult? Tried to reset my apple id password, requirement is minimum 8 letters, 1 number, 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase. I do this but it keeps saying the password is too easy to guess and I have to choose another one.
Just bloody p1ss off apple, I did what you told and it is still not enough, now I have to choose a password I have no chance of remembering.
I also have a customer database I have to use for work, have to change my password every month and I am not allowed to use any of my previous 25 passwords. Who the hell can remember the last 25 passwords. So of course, you have to make a document which lists all your passwords which sort of defeats the purpose of a password.

Just write your password on a post-it note and stick it onto your device. Then contact the site administrator and tell them theta what you've had to do since, well, you're not a computer and you can't remember massive strings of text.

Pad your password.

Add ... Or *** to the beginning and end of your password eg:

...Password1... Or ***Password1***

Easyto remember and super difficult to crack!!! ( Obvs replace Password1' with something else)

This is an excellent article of password search space and entropy:
