Ask HN: Password Schema Site

3 points by hactually ↗ HN
Do I have a special character? Do I need numbers? An uppercase character?

Is there a site that tracks all the, often ridiculous, password schemas in use on different websites?

this would be awesome as extension. in 99% when i dont know my password it is because the website defines some special rules which my personal shema does not include.

Last two days I've been bitten by this for three web properties.

I tried a number of 'standard' passwords for one property wherein it locked me out, I then had to call a person who could reset the password.

On clicking the reset email link it was only then it told me what schema I had to comply with.

So stupid.
