How to completely stress your end users

I’m supporting one of our partners in filling out some forms for getting our software certified with Microsoft. Upon creating a user account on the designated site for that, we are presented with the following passwordrules:

Password Requirements: Contain 8 - 16 characters with both upper and lower case (e.g., a-z, A-Z). Have digits and punctuation/symbol characters as well as letters e.g., 0-9, !@#$%^&*()_+|~-=\`{}[]:";'<>?,./). One or more of the characters from the second (2) to sixth (6) positions must not be an alphabet character e.g. between A-Z or a-z.

Are the *COMPLETELY* insane? We have to read this 20 times to even begin to understand what is asked from us.

I love Microsoft, but this is crazy.

Bye,

Bart
