I agree. I found a way to beat that system.

I had a password that met their criteria that was easy to memorize. What I did was put the number “1” as the last letter of that password.

When it came time to change passwords, I changed that “1” to a “2”. The next time a “3” and so on and so forth.

I think you missed this phrase - and don’t allow similar passwords from previous ones. (No Password01, Password02, etc.)
