My workplace made us change our passwords to have a minimum of 14 characters, including upper and lower case letters, at least one number and one special character, with the ‘benefit’ being that we only have to change it annually rather than every 3 months. We also have to lock our computers every time we walk away from them, which I have to do 20 or more times a day, requiring entering the password to unlock it. This meme is my version of hell.

This i a very reasonable and good way to handle corporate IT security on the device level. This is how most places should be doing it.
I’m not arguing with that. It’s more a comment on my typing skill, or lack thereof, and how often I have to enter it.
Ours was the same. But then reneged on the ‘annual’ part.
