The company I worked for had a similar policy.

Which led to everyone having their passwords taped to their monitors.
Definitely NOT a joke. The company I worked for had a very similar policy which was rigorously enforced by external auditors. Eight character password, case sensitive, with alpha and numeric characters, changing every 30 days! And we couldn’t recycle a previously used password.
And, yes, everyone wrote their passwords down in clear view near their monitors.
6 characters ?!
