How does that help me? I haven't seen a site that would allow for a password like this in a long time. It's too long, it doesn't have at least one cap, one number, and one symbol. So, what good would this do?

I'm pretty sure you are looking at one right now.

Really? 90% of sites I run into don't have those restrictions.

The sites where you care the most about security do: Ebay, PayPal, my bank, all government websites (Canada).
