Just reading in that long password are better than complex ones. Wouldn’t it be better if our passwords were long memorable quotes like “Now are the times that try men’s souls” instead of something like Be$ty78?

When a website tells you restrictions that reduce the complexity of the password in any way, it’s usually because their security is bottom level garbage.
The worst is if you see something like “password can’t be longer than x.” Then you know 100%, they are storing your password in plaintext, and the db field simply doesn’t have more space reserved.
Need to use password managers, it’s not feasible to remember more than a handful of different passwords and you need to have a unique, secure password in every place you use one.
