Hi,
1PX suggestet me a password with 20 characters.
Since 1.18.0 it is only 13 characters long.

Why you changed it?

    Ok. Thanks for the Link.
    But i dont like this change.

    Never had huge problems on Sites with the length of 20.

    So with a length of 13 i will have yellow password on the indicator. :(

    A lot of websites did not accept the default value of 20 unfortunately, so this new default should work on many more websites out of the box. Of course, you are always free to use the password generator to create much longer passwords if you prefer (even much longer than 20 characters).

    Is it maybe then possible to add an Button for a quick access to the Generator in the suggestion popup?
