Dark Helmet: So the combination is one, two, three, four, five…that’s the stupidest combination I’ve ever heard in my life! That’s the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
[President Skroob walks in.]
Skroob: What’s the combination?
Colonel Sandurz: One, two, three, four, five.
Skroob: One, two, three, four, five? That’s amazing! I’ve got the same combination on my luggage!
[Colonel Sandurz and Dark Helmet give each other a look.]
Skroob: Prepare Spaceball 1 for immediate departure!
One time at work I was talking to one of our I.T. people, and I told him that my password was the last four digits of pi. He says (no joke), “No, no…system password has to be at least eight characters…D’OH!”
Password123! is cool… for the first time. But with IT requiring password changes periodically and checking to see that it is not simply the previous ones with simple additional numbers, you might have a problem.
The NIST agrees that the requirement for complex password is a bad method. It causes more problems than it solves. Plus, it’s not possible to crack passwords by random guesses with todays smarter systems.

The commonly-used rule “No actual words” would invalidate “Password123!”
