Heh. I just increased a number in my password for my passwords. Then just repeat. So “CompanyName[00]” meets almost all complexity requirements and all I have to do is increment the numbers.

Note: I only do this when I have these requirements and I can’t use a password manager.

Sounds like a certain BOFH story... have you ever thought about just adding another "s" to the end of your password instead?
