Hello,

I see y'all switched the password generator in 7.7beta-3, I find this generator a step back as I can't specify how many symbols or numbers I want. I now regularly get password suggestions with a couple symbols and numbers on passwords that are 30+ characters.

Will I have the option to use the older generator when this exits beta?

    Hi @btmurphy thanks for your feedback!

    There are no plans to allow the use of the previous password generator when 7.7 goes stable. We've also brought this new password generator to iOS as well.

    Let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.
    Take care!

    I totally agree with you. I miss the old password generator as it now sometimes generates a password with only 1 or 2 special characters and or numbers in a 32 characters long password. In other 'kind' words, the new password generator kind off suck in my opinion.
