  • Hello @ugafta,

    Thank you for reaching out and letting me know about the issue you encountered while using 1Password.

    Currently, you can't modify the auto-suggested passwords. We want to give users a seamless experience with 1Password X without having to do anything. Our ultimate goal is to make 1Password X read website requirements and provide satisfactory passwords for all of them. It is not unfeasible, but there is still work to be done.

    If the suggested passwords don't match your site's requirements, please use the password generator from the extension or the 1Password app.

    I would also like to clarify that adding more special symbols in a password does not really make it stronger. I assure you that it will take a few trillion years to hack a password with only one special symbol.

    Thank you for providing this information in the forum! I look forward to 1Password offering the feature to which you refer. (Reading website requirements to provide passwords that meet particular criteria.) For now, I will generate a password, and modify it appropriately in the 1Password 7 app.
