Passphrase question
Since the feature I’m asking about doesn’t exist, I’m sure there’s a reason.
I know there is very little difference between using a password and comparable passphrase but one omission in creating a passphrase concerns me. Many sites require at least one special character in a new password but 1P has no option for a special character or symbol when creating a new passphrase. However, there is such an option when creating a new password.
There must be a reason, yet most other competitors offer this option. I’m not advocating to jump ship but it seems like a reasonable feature request, given its requirement on so many sites.

Thanks @ag_tommy. I would agree with what Jeffery says, but I still can't find an answer to my primary issue in his comments. First, part of this is my fault as I mentioned special character in my original post. Actually, 1P compensates for this with the word separator, which is a special character. I meant to say number, which 1P will not add to a passphrase. Many websites specifically require "one lowercase, one uppercase, one number and one special character (or symbol). As such, this forces me to use a password instead of a passphrase. I'm fine with that but I prefer to use a passphrase at times and can't with the 1P restriction (or omission). Thanks!

Thanks, @ag_ana. Your suggestion suffices, though not exactly what I was hoping for. Regardless, I'll use it for now. The purpose of using a passphrase is so it's both memorable and secure - for those few passwords that have to be both. Something like Pundit8-Bungalow-Drier was what I was hoping for, especially a consistent separator. By adding either automatic first letter caps for each word (or even one cap on one word), only one random number and a consistent separator, the requirements of nearly all websites are satisfied yet it's memorable. But even if other password generators use this methodology, I'm sure there's a hole in it somewhere. Regardless, thanks for your suggestion.
