Password Generator isn't honoring repeating characters
I've been finding that the password generator isn't honoring the "Allow characters to repeat" option. This latest password it generated took the cake.
6el>HhNLiULP>8Ct
It repeats L and > . That's specifically what I DON'T want. Is anyone else having this?

Huh.. Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out.
So 1password's stance is that repeat characters is OK in a strong password as long as they aren't consecutive?

In fact, they argue that to eliminate the possibility of repeated characters would narrow the search space for a cracking program to analyze, thus weakening the password.

Well.. I guess I see that, setting any specific rule could narrow a result, but an attacker wouldn't necessarily know that rule is or isn't in place to begin with. I suppose it's a small thing; there's just something hard-wired in my brain that repeated characters is an exploitable attack vector in cryptography.
Thanks for info guys.
