Administrators implement those password restrictions to prevent security breaches.

I'd rather have the tighter security if it keeps my credit card safe.

I will put the bold claim out there that if companies like banks salt your password and lock you out after 4 attempts you don't really need that much in the way of end user password complexity. The only practical attack at that point is denial of service.

I was thinking stores. Amazon, Etsy, eBay, smaller stores etc.
