And then there are all those accounts that require you to change your password every 90 days.

And then there are the few accounts that are left over from the dinosaur days, that finally catch up with the 21st century and tell you that you have to make a new password that's at least 8 characters long, require a special character, a capital letter, and a numeric digit. So all those "orangebaby" passwords now have to be "0rangeB^by"
I understand completely. I tried several Windows Password managers for my wife who runs windows (I run MacOS) and never found one I was happy with.

Since she has an iPad I talked her into using Apples Keychain and now she is a happy camper. She has to type in passwords on windows, but she can always find them on her iPad or iPhone.
