Well there it is. It's a government website. It needs to be secure. Password restrictions have always annoyed me on websites where it's just my shit that going to get fucked. Yes all of these restrictions will make my shit more secure, but if I want my password to be hunter12 then that should be my perogative. But on a government website it makes sense.
Edit: politeness
Edit 2: Jesus fucking Christ I get it. These types of passwords are more susceptible to brute force passwords. I don't need 20 of you motherfuckers to tell me the same damn thing.
Restrictions like OPs make the site less secure because meow a hacker has a set of rules they can use to pre filter their attack list. Many less combinations to try meow.
