It just took me about 15min to; not be able to log into an account, go through the security steps, get an email, and figure out wtf new password to use
I understand it's for "security", but don't these places know how many passwords a typical person needs, nowadays? How are you supposed to remember them all? You can;t write them down, for that would compromise security!
This was the criteria for the site in question:
Your Password:
Must be 8-32 characters long
Must include at least one letter and one number
May have special characters or punctuation (for example: ! # $ % + / = ? @ ~)
Must be different than your previous five Passwords
Must not match your User ID
Must not include more than 2 identical characters (for example: 111 or aaa) <-------------------really?
Must not include more than 2 consecutive characters (for example: 123 or abc) <-----------------really?
Must not use the name of the financial institution
(for example: JPM, MORGAN, CHASE)
Passwords.....grrrrrr

Unfortunately, you used the letter "l" twice and you have more than 2 consecutive characters

Use Roboform. It tracks all of my passwords for applications and websites. It builds passwords that are unbreakable too.
I pay for it every year and rest easy knowing that guessing my most critical passwords is virtually impossible. As an example. y4a24qw6YTye

Re: Passwords.....grrrrrr
I don't mind a regular word, but yeah, the capital letter, number, minimum characters crap drives me bonkers. Then you call customer support, they ask you for your password, now some yahoo has it and you gotta go home and change it. Boooo
Proper grammar is awesome.

Two 'l's in a row does not appear to be a violation of the rules you posted. It looks like it takes 3 or more identical characters in a row like the example. I also don't see 3 consecutive letters in Hillary2016!, the closest thing is two consecutive number if "01" which is still not three consecutive like "012".
At any rates.
Think of three words that kind of go together. Do you have a cat? Is it pudgy?
fat cat
Replace the spaces with a punctuation character of your choice.
fat!cat!
Add a number sequence. Maybe Sherlock Holmes had a cat.
fat!cat!221B
Voila! A twelve character password (8-32 characters), at least one letter and one number, special characters or punctuation, not more than 2 identical characters (by any interpretation), not more than 2 consecutive characters and no banking institution I know but maybe descriptive of a few bankers.
This one even meets the requirement for at least one upper and one lower case letter like ick's Billary example.
Must be different from your last five passwords got your panties in a wad?
Easy peasy. Just change Sherlock's address.
fat!cat!221B
fat!cat!331B
fat!cat!441B
fat!cat!551B
fat!cat!661B
Password Nazis are dumbasses. The harder you make it for people to remember their passwords the more likely they are to write them down or use some other insecure method to aggregate them all.

Re: Passwords.....grrrrrr
Use a password storage application where you only have to remember one strong password to access the rest. That container can be stored on a cloud server (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) so that you have access across platforms and offline. Just be sure to pick an application that has encryption and other secure features (e.g. software key file). Then activate two-step authentication on the cloud account to ensure that only authorized devices can access the account.

Re: Passwords.....grrrrrr
I use lastpass.
My passwords are long and random looking, but I only have to remember one of them.
You should not use the same password for two different sites.

Re: Passwords.....grrrrrr
Isn't Hillary's username "HotRod47"?
That's what she used on her private server.
Maybe the password should be "DevilWearsPantsuits2016."
Or maybe, "BlueDressSpermDiva1995-97".
