I hate restrictive password rules, some are sensible but if too strict either people will write them down or you end up with lots of calls about password issues. This is especially true where password changes are enforced.

I use LastPass to generate passwords for lots of sites (not banking, no connection for these) so I don't know what they are, just random set of letters, numbers, symbols. Other tools also offer the same sort of function.
