Password Generator should include a number

Most sites require at least 1 number when generating a password. I would love to use the 'words' type password if the option was there to add a number somewhere into it. Thanks!

    Hi @wassupdoc,

    Thanks for the comment.

    That's an interesting suggestion. In general we try to keep the password generators rich in features and controls, but still usable and properly secure and random.

    I think the main problem is that we don't really much know or have control of what a website requires for passwords, and they often are somewhat arbitrary. Even more of a problem is that if we add too many options to the password generator, if you have the wrong settings you could create passwords that are actually less secure.

    For me, if I encounter websites that require something like a number or a special character, I just generate a password of the correct size and add a few numbers or special characters to satisfy the site's requirements. This works pretty well and ultimately I don't change passwords all that often (I'm usually opening and filling).

    Hope this helps.
