I would like to implement a stronger password policy for our network. We require a password that is 6 characters long, changed every 90 days, and keep 32 password histories.

Unfortunately, the Microsoft Strong Password Policy does a number of things, most that we like, but the part that sets a rule that you need 3 out of 4 settings. (Uppercase, Lowercase, Arabic numerals, Nonalpha characters (!$#,%). We would love to use this but we really would like to require 2 out of the 4 versus 3 out of the 4. Is there any way around this?

Otherwise, we agree with the rest of the policy.

Any suggestions?

Is there a way to design your own character, and add it to a keyboard key..?
 
set up the passwords using MS Word and choose one of the weird languages to make-up your passwords. Just be sure to remember which language you use.
