question: would it be possible/smart to have a system where the entity that is authenticating you has a way to disclose to you the maximum password complexity that it can handle ? Something like a GeekCode string that you can feed to your password generator and come out with a the strongest password possibly handled by the system ?

Apple/OP actually maintains a list of crowdsourced password rules for websites https://github.com/apple/password-manager-resources/blob/mai...

On one hand it’s terrible that they have to do this. On the other, in terms of attention to detail and user experience it’s great.
