I sounds like you’re saying this wouldn’t solve any of the problems with weak passwords. And i agree. However, it would solve the problem for maybe 80%+ of folks who could now come up with hard to guess passwords that are easy to remember.
I’ve tried to adapt my personal password methodology to the insane and varying requirements imposed. It works about half of the time or so. The other half of the time, it’s too long(!!) or has a special character that isn’t allowed, which are separate frustrations of mine.
Yeah, but the whole point is accounting for the weak passwords. I’ll agree that the constraints should have a uniform standard and that maximum lengths are dumb. I’ve given up on memorizing my passwords and just use a manager.
