Why the hell do I need a password with

8 characters
Upper and Lower case
At least 1 number
At least 1 symbol
Can't be the same as a PW within the last 5 years
Can't contain series of #'s from social, phone, or address
Mandatory to change it every so many weeks


All to log in to pay a damn utility bill.
Because if you give people the option to chose 1234, they will. If you give them the option to use only letters they'll go with password. If you tell them it has to be changed once every 3 months without stipulations, they'll go from 0000 to 1111.

It's a good thing to force people to do this. You should be thanking your utility provider.

I guess my question is, at what point do we have too many accounts/services/logins all with their own set of rules where it becomes necessary to write down or log all of your passwords? Having all of your passwords stored in one place seems to be counter productive.

No, If anyone wants to log in and pay my water bill, have at it.
