Appendix 2: Computing a Valid Password
Many sites forbid using your name, user name, “common” words, keyboard sequences (qwerty, asdf) as part of your password, or a repeat of a previously used or similar password. The chances of SitePassword generating such a password is vanishingly small. The main requirement SitePassword doesn’t consider is rules that disallow sequences and repeats. In these cases changing the site’s nickname will generate an acceptable password with high probability.
There is a list of 292 sites that have particularly dubious password rules. Given the ability to generate a new password by trying a different nickname, SitePassword can generate a legal password in a few tries for all but 5 sites.

Is there a set of special characters that are accepted by (nearly) every site?
