This is so true. You may have a great password, like this: 9rIqIiGByCzcWq But, it may be considered too long by some services, or not complex enough by others

This is so true. You may have a great password, like this: 9rIqIiGByCzcWq But, it may be considered too long by some services, or not complex enough by others (as it lacks special chars), or it can't begin with a number, etc. Adding special chars breaks it for some DB apps (oracle can't take some chars in the password). It's really frustrating that it's 2012 and there's no global ISO password standard (or something similar).
