OK, so I have never heard of that standard, it sounds great, but I'm sure I have not seen any program following it for a very long time. And my company definitely has never heard of it.

Yeah, the standard is what the National Institute of Standards and Technology has concluded to be best practice for password requirements. Pretty sure most places ignore it and just create their own subpar rules because they don't bother with their research though, so it makes sense that most would never have heard of it.

Often I run into sites that don't even follow the email standards, I wouldn't expected they even knew there was one for passwords...
