I wish we could get rid of many of those stupid rules.
Agreed, but if your password manager can just generate a password that matches the rules, you don't really have to care about it. Currently you just get your browser/password manager to generate one, get an error, then just manually append whatever missing required character was needed.
But yeah, in most cases the password requirements have not been set by anyone that actually knows anything about password security.
