This meant that perfectly reasonable passphrases (like "correct horse battery staple") would be rejected. There may have been other restrictions too, I don't recall the exact details. No English words or names could be present. No sequence of 3 or more increasing or decreasing letters or numbers could be present (and not even consecutive: "ta/Tbs#cz" would be rejected because it contains "abc").Ĥ.

No character could be repeated more than two timesģ. At least 3 out of the 4 categories uppercase, lowercase, digit, special characterĢ. Yeah, at my last job, someone implemented a password strength checking feature that would actually reject stronger passwords.
