A website once complained my password contained 3 consecutive letters there were 1 away from each other. This was back when I used sentences for passwords. It was complaining about the word worst because of r-s-t.

That's wack. Passphrases are second only to random passwords generated by a password generator in terms of security, character proximity doesn't matter with that much length.
