It's so annoying to have to discover the rules one rejected attempt at a time. Worse yet: sometimes you just get vague feedback a la "password contains illegal characters". I usually let KeePassXC generate a safe password for me but in that case I then have to manually permutate the different character classes (numbers, letters, spaces, punctuation, etc) until I find the offender. No good.

Password must contain an uppercase letter.
Password must contain a special character.
Not that one.
Not that one either.
Nearly had it there! Too bad you only get 5 attempts. Account locked.

One time i hand to look up what "half width character" even was. Answer lower case

Oh and the websites which either don't work with long passwords (24 chars) or don't work when the password is pasted instead of typed

KeepassXC autotype is a solution but it doesn't work on wayland
