1Password generated passwords too long

Some of my sites require passwords with the usual upper/lower case/numeric and special symbol but also limit password length to, let's say 15 characters. 1Password generates 20 and this is rejected. Now I know some will say just drop 5 or 6 spaces off the end. Problem with that is it often eliminates one of the other requirements noted here and I don't wish to play trail and error with passwords. If there is a place to size the length of 1Password generated passwords, I can't find it. Any help appreciated. Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 on a iMac

    Ouch. While it's a bummer if you're still encountering some websites that require you to use weaker passwords, 1Password has you covered! You can use the password generator to create passwords from 8 characters up to even 64:

    The password generator can be found in the main 1Password app window, on the right in a password field when editing, and in 1Password mini in the browser from the "+ Generate Password" button. Cheers! :)
