Original Note:
Requiring mixed-up characters to be used in passwords can actually make them less secure. NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) removed all complexity rules from their guidelines for this reason. Making passwords longer is much more important for security. https://auth0.com/blog/dont-pass-on-the-new-nist-password-guidelines/
