I'm trying to figure out why banks and credit cards have such lax requirements for passwords. Some of them don't even require a symbol. There is a major credit card company that requires nothing more than 8 digits with a letter and a number. password1 passes their test.
They probably lock you out after three failed attempts.
IMHO, this sort of administrative policy would make for better security than weird complicated passwords or phrases.
