Password auto generator symbol and character count wheels

When did the password auto generator eliminate the count wheels for symbols and characters? I must have missed this in a past update... I now see there are only toggle selectors for symbols and characters; using verfsion 7 on my 2020 macbook pro-Big Sur. I am curious why this was changed when it was much better to edit and create a stronger level password if desired than having to click onto the password and edit manually. Any thoughts are appreciated.

    Let me refer you to a past thread where our Chief Defender Against the Dark Arts (AKA: security team lead), Jeffrey Goldberg, talks about this.

    Thanks for the link. After reading I still believe the options to adjust symbols and characters should have remained for the customer as they were. Those provisions allowed the customer the best way to manage auto generated passwords as they desire.
