The actual funny (or sad) thing about this: even without a length limit all they do is make the password less secure because every constraint just reduces the possible password space.

As someone who generates every password with a password manager those sites are a pain in the ass because you have to somehow get these constraints into the generator.

Keepass deals with this fairly well. It remembers the restrictions from the previous password.

It’s sad that this project from Apple has gotten literally zero traction with any password manager that I know of.

Free, open source repository of password requirements that are just an API call away, and you wouldn’t have to worry about tweaking your password generator at all, but no one is using it. Except maybe Apple and I refuse to use their password manager.
