Hej to all,
When you are on a website and want to register there, 1Password suggests a password. Where can I customize the type of password suggestion in 1Password?
For example, I want the length of the password to be longer, include 3 numbers and 2 special characters.
Is it possible to define this in 1Password for the suggestions?
I would be very pleased about a feedback from you.
1Password Version: 7.7
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.15.7
Sync Type: Not Provided

Hey @Safety. 1Password will automatically suggest the best password for the page in the inline menu, based on a list of known good settings and other page attributes. Is there a particular reason for wanting exactly 3 numbers and 2 special characters? Passwords with more restrictions like this reduce the overall entropy (randomness) and are less secure than something more random, so I'm curious of the use case here.
For more granularity, you can open 1Password mini from the toolbar in Safari (or the macOS menu bar), click
+ Generate Password
, and use the password generator there (and edit as necessary, too), but the strength implications are worth keeping in mind.Hej ag_michalc,
thanks for your answer, hints and questions....
The only reason is that i always use Passwords between a length of 25 up to 33 characters, numbers, special characters within it. My randomness suggestions seems to short for me? I never use passwords builded by myself, i always take the randomness creations from 1Passwordgenerator but with 30characters. So the main reason for me is to change / influence the length in the randomness suggestions.
Hope you understand my thoughts?

@Safety:
Can you please elaborate on this a little bit? Could you maybe upload a screenshot with an example password, that shows its length?
