This is a good password because it has lowercase, uppercase, numeric and non-alphanumeric values plus is 8 characters long. Yet somehow, your human brain looked at it and decided "no, it's not a good password" because what you're seeing is merely character substitution. The hackers have worked this out too which is why arbitrary composition rules on websites are useless.

Either you stopped reading 1 sentence too early, or you are posting in bad faith to try and smear Troy.

Or Troy wrote a confusing sentence that didn't make sense.
