(IT people close your ears) Just before I went on vacation my company updated network password requirements from 14 characters to 20 and no previously used sequence of more than 10 characters. This eliminated a password I had used for 20 years by just updating the numbers. I was on version 80 🤭.

So far new password is KILLING ME !!! I can’t remember it let alone type it correctly. This has to happen every time my screen saver comes on. So every time I stop and look at my phone 🤣 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaghh!!!

Ours recently switched too, but we were changing an 8+- character password every 3 months. Now the 14+- character password doesn’t need changing. I call that a win.

And they encourage a passphrase rather than a password to make it easier to remember. Might help?
