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.

- tomp 5y agoI 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.
