Our HR management system at work, that manages all payslips and tax returns only allows passwords between 8 and 9 characters, they have to start with a letter, they have to contain one of the following "@", "_", "-", "$", but no other special characters are allowed. It has to contain one number.

It's the most bizzare password requirement I have ever seen and I am pretty sure it's not secure. Have I mentioned it only works in IE and uses ActiveX controls?

Inclusive, I hope.
