Moar password recipe options
It would be really useful if the password recipe had multiple options to control the string generation:
- Words with dividers (as it is now)
- Completely random.
If the "random" option is selected selected, this should have options to choose what types of characters are allowable:
- Lowercase letters
- Uppercase letters
- Numbers
- Spaces
- Hyphens
- Other non-alphanumeric characters
- Unicode
There are some occasions when I want to generate a random number, e.g. for a Paypal pin, and 1Password doesn't support that. Several sites also support UTF-8 or UTF-16, so it'd be nice to be able to push the boundaries a little.

Hi @DamienMcKenna,
Our Password Generator could use some love and it is something we've discussed in the past. I think what has stopped us so far is a lack of consensus over what would be a powerful system whilst still keeping it approachable regardless of the skill level of the user. The scenario we definitely want to avoid is if we risk the possibility of a user creating a weaker password than they intended but I agree, there is plenty of potential of improvement here. I'll add your voice to the existing request to see a better Password Generator.
