The counter only addresses requirements to change password periodically. The special character requirement is addressed by tacking on 'Aa$1' to all passwords (they asked for it; it's what I tacked to all the (good) passwords I memorized even before I had this method).

All your passwords have special characters. Some places do not accept special characters in passwords.

This is what your scheme doesn't address.
