Q: Why do password requirements seem so high?

It's likely you came here because you're either frustrated with the password requirements, or you're familiar with XKCD.

We understand that our password requirements may seem a bit high, but we strive to protect your security and privacy as much as possible.

An example password that meets our complexity rules is ‘Password1’ which you obviously should not use, but this shows that the password doesn’t have to be that complex to be accepted. We also have to work with what requirements we can set with the platform and its feature set, and we have laid out the requirements in line with what we're able to do.
