if you followed "proper procedure", you would have a different password for every single account, change it at least once every 6 months, and none of the passwords would be easily cracked. and of course you can't write any of them down.

some websites require punctuation, others prohibit it.

then, of course, these bozos store your unencrypted passwords and let hackers have easy access to them....
