Vast majority of passwords will have just 1 symbol, either at the start or end, or replace A with @, S with $, etc

P@55w0rd!

Is an awful password, yet meets many security policies

P@ssword2, P@ssword3, P@ssword4 etc

Also meet them, and rotate just fine.

Nor is "correct horse battery staple". For wanting symbols, so many password systems really hate spaces.

I can't tell you how pissed I was when the ex-Pres revealed my password with his "Man Woman Camera TV" rant.

I end passwords with "1Aa" or "1Aa," to appease all these random requirements.

Don't worry, the first 10 letters are randomly generated a-z or a-z0-9.
