Right, there shouldn't be an easy to decipher password rule. Random passphrases seem to make the strongest passwords these days, especially if symbols, numbers, and spaces are allowed and used. Even the strongest password should have 2FA, and even that is only as strong as the identity verification of the password/2FA reset process.
Even rigid, known password rules are fine as long as there are enough possible combinations. xkcd.com/936/
