Website Password Requirements

Increasingly, I have more and more passwords to remember.  Mainly, this is due to different requirements (i.e. minimum length, upper/lower case, numbers, special characters, expiration every X months, etc).  Unfortunately, because I am human, my passwords need to make some sense to me.  I already have several "series" of passwords that I keep track of mentally.  But, the problem is when faced with a login screen, I sometimes have a hard time remembering which password is for what (I'm still fighting the urge to write passwords down).  If I could see what the password requirements are, I could make a reasonably successful guess at which password is what.

I believe I'm not the only one, so I'm going to start compiling a list of websites and their password requirements for reference.  If you want me to add a site, please leave a comment with the attributes for that site and I'll add it.
