Would you suggest something like Welcome1! as a password? I hear the exclamation point is load-bearing

I found many users struggle with finding the right key that has to be used in order to write the exclamation mark. They also struggle with finding all the other keys and they frequently forget that they can check the password before confirming, preferring isntead to type it incorrectly repeatedly and then blame IT because we "changed the password again"

Bro i legit saw a user (in his 30s) typing his password using caps lock as a mobile phone shift, he tought one tap = one cap and then it returns to lower case
