It was never best practices for anyone who had common sense.

It just forced people to make insecure, easy to remember passwords, cause they were gonna be changed in again soon so why make it complicated and hard to remember.

I know I do this. Add another exclamation mark.

Psh... That's amateur, I just keep incrementing the number at the end 'password1', 'password2', etc. Gotta fool the password reuse counter!
