Strong Passwords Are Important

I am constantly changing multiple passwords at work that have to include x ammount of letters, x ammount of numbers, and a symbol. It can be a pain to keep track of all these passwords, but considering that I work at a bank. They want their information kept as secure as possible. I know that changing passwords to keep your info secure can be a pain, but it is probably worth it. There are programs or browser addons (keepass, roboform) that can help keep track of your usernames and passwords, or just create a password protected spreadsheet to keep track of them yourself. If any of your passwords are on this list, change them immediately. Also, license plates are not a good password(maybe old ones). Here are some hints on how to create a secure password.
