My workplace has this common braindead policy where we have to change our passwords every 3 months. So every time I change it, Microsoft page asks me, “HOW WAS IT?”
Unless you are REAL stupid levels of lucky to have one of the mandatory password changes the day after a compromise that you werent aware of, all mandatory regular password changes do is make people use less secure passwords.

Like it wasn’t annoying enough.
I never understood the purpose of this.

There’s no purpose. It’s 100% security theatre.
So does mine, and we just got hacked. Almost like users make stupid passwords when required to change frequently.
