This is how it's done.
Or use a fucking password manager like Bitwarden or Keepass
I won't say where I work but we have strict password requirements including that they have to be exactly 8 characters long.
Yeah our passwords aren't very secure as we also have to change them every 90 days and if you miss the window by 3 days you have to call the IT desk to reset it which takes about 45 minutes to an hour. And in that time you basically can't get anything done.
At home I use a password manager and all my passwords are randomly generated and whenever possible 2fa is enabled.
Personally I would use a password manager for at work as well. Bitwarden can generate 8 character passwords. Easy enough to remember and if you forget it's right there on your phone.
