My personal life? Password manager with passwords as complicated and as long as each service will allow for.

Job that makes me change my password every 30 days? You get the same base password, followed by the next number in the series.

Which is probably why they added the "50% similar" rule. Of course, that just makes the number longer.

I haven't worked at a company that prevented me from starting over again at my original password after 9 months/resets e.g. password9 reverts back to password0.

If I have to increase the length of my password and make password10, it means they've won.

Fuck them.

Of course, if you respect, or even like, the company you work at, you may feel differently.
