suggestion: create a file that can be placed in a website .well-known folder for password requir

ktwbc

The .well-known folder on a website is already used for things like change-password URL and apple pay validation, among others. It seems like a logical use for this is to create a file like password-format.json that would contain a JSON structure on password requirements, which 1Password (and really any other pwd managers, take the lead on this!) could use on how to build a password. Something like:

{
"min_length": 4,
"max_length": 12,
"require_special_char": true,
"require_uppercase": true,
"require_lowercase": true,
"require_numbers": false
}

a representation of all the "Rules" that each website has (and vary widely) on their password requirements. I'm sure you have a library of know websites but this is a way that the website itself could avoid irritating customers like us whose generated passwords don't always align with their requirements.

Hello @ktwbc! 👋

Thank you for the suggestion! The passwordrules HTML attribute already exists which gives website developers the ability to declare password requirements. Developers are encouraged to use this attribute and can find instructions here: Design your website to work best with 1Password Developer

1Password also uses the Password Manager Resources project, compiled in part with Apple, to have our filling brain know password rules for popular websites.

Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
