Government vendors

Has anyone here ever worked as a vendor for the US Government? I'm trying to register in their vendor system and this may be the most ridiculous process EVER. Just an example, here are the password requirements when setting up a new account:
Password must be a minimum of 15 characters
Must contain at least one capital letter
Must contain at least one lower case letter
Most contain at least one number
Must contain at least one special character
Cannot contain consecutive characters (abc or cba)
Cannot contain repeating characters (aa or bb)
Cannot contain the same character more than twice
Entered passwords must be different from the last 10 passwords used
Cannot be changed within 24 hours

I challenge anyone here to give me a password example that will be approved the first time around! This is sooooo stupid.

    Thank goodness. Could you imagine if it worked and then you had a problem with the account and you needed to give your password to tech support! :lol:

    i was thinking 10 for some reason.

    it's bad when you can't even create one with the rules right under your nose.
