Gotta do mine twice a year, always needs to be new, have a number, and a special character. It was annoying because I'm a pass phrase kind of person, but found it's not too hard to just add the year and exclamation marks for each password change into my passphrase.
Plus password managers exist so whatever.
Can't you just have two passphrases and alternate between them ?
Nope, has to be new and unique every time. Their system keeps every password I've ever had, which if you think of it, is a really bad liability if they're hacked.
For me, no. Can't be the same or too similar to the past 4-5 passwords and has to be 14 characters long.
