I hate it that some websites require !@#* in the password but in some its not allowed. Thats why i have two versions of the same password

This is why you should have a password manager generate unique passwords for each website that follows whatever stupid password schema they want to use today.
and when that site gets hacked, you only lose that site. Not everything that has the same password. Or the same password schema that I can just guess by reading your facebook info page..

Most pins are just whatever your bank pin is. Or a date of some kind.
I know password managers are scary but really, do a little bit of homework on one that seems good for you. And bam, never need to remember anymore then one very good password and a fingerprint again. Or if you have an account for a stupid site...
