Better support for insane password rules.
Some websites have insane password rules. Examples:
- requires at least one special character but only !$%#& is allowed. Right now, the password generator only supports toggling special characters on or off and it's hard to generate an acceptable password without lots of retries
- allows no spaces
- no more than 3 repeated characters
- no consecutive repeated characters
- must start with an English letter or number
There's a fun collection of utterly insane password rules here: https://github.com/duffn/dumb-password-rules
It probably isn't feasible to support all of these rules, but some of them are unfortunately very common (like the "must have special characters but only these specific special characters" rule). It would be great if the password generator had additional "advanced" settings to help with these kinds of rules.

We don't want to make it too "advanced" or it will not be usable for a lot of people -- or at least wouldn't be enjoyable to use, which would result in people being less secure. But you're right that it's a problem in need of a solution. We have some ideas in this area that could help. Hopefully we'll have more to share in the future as we continue improving our latest strong password generator. Thanks for bringing this up! :)
