Many many moons ago, I was accessing a system that enforced changing your password every 35 days. Could not reuse passwords for 13 months. Had to have a capital, lower case, symbol, and a numeric. My passwords were May_86, Jun_86, Jul_86,... (not sure 86 was the right year, but you get the idea). Typical example of a self destructive policy.
