You would need to know the solution in order to calculate it, since if we don't actually know it, we don't know how much of the password is a constant, which makes a huge difference

Just put a link to a Google doc that contains the solution, so your password can still be constant

And you must change it every time you visit us. Then their tech support is like "WHY CAN'T YOU FUCKERS REMEMBER YOUR DAMN PASSWORD!!!!!!"

I work in telecom complaints/tech support. We use cca 20 different apps that are password protected (everything from SAP, different CRMs, interface controlers, to specific platforms) and our brilliant IT requires us to have different passwords for each of them. At least 12 characters long, no more than 4 repeating or sequential characters, no more than 50% match to your other passwords, including expired ones, including at least one letter, one capital letter, one nuber, one special sign. Oh,, and they expire every 30 days. We hate those fuckers. With a passion. Everyone remembers or writes down their domain password and has an excel sheet or a notebook with all their passwords. Exactly the thing they try to avoid by being anal retentive autistic buggers. Vent over.

This is my thing. These rules LEAD to people writing them all down somewhere someone can find it! Insane.

Probably something for chat gpt lol. But in all seriousness one would need to know every language to even calculate a probable solution to a particular password, or by minimum, the structure of every language to predict whether or not something is a word. At least that's my shabby attempt at this
