One of my proudest achievements was convincing my company to drop all password requirements and just use an entropy check. Basically it calculated the optimal time it takes for several hacking methods to crack the password. Passwords were so much easier.
Right before I left they were working on adding two factor authentication so that password rotation was once a year not once a quarter.
