There are ways around it: using the code for the key directly north-west of the problematic character, and if that's a bad character go further, maybe wrap around, or try to follow through the problem character (a/& -> &/| -> |/f, thus f would be the code for a) etc. As for remembering which sites have what restrictions, I can keep that stuff in my head (looking at you Microsoft), but I guess you may have more accounts than me. Then again, when a password fails, then all you'd have to do is retry with a safer version (and maybe only have two password kinds, for convenience - full-blown char support, and minimalistic lowercase-letters only, so you'd only have to retry a single time after the first failed login). Personally, my biggest problem with this card is that it doesn't provide enough value.
