Those requirements drive me crazy, especially because they’re all against NIST recommendations. Someone thinks they make passwords more secure but they have the opposite effect.
At any rate, password managers still help in those cases. If nothing else, for providing a safe place to record what your password is for when you forget it because of the dumb requirements.
I always wonder if such choices come from incompetent IT, or if IT wants to do things better but is banging their heads against corporate owners who think “more hassle = more secure”.
