1Password 8 Mac Electron App Experiment

Hey kleerkoat

Thanks for sharing, and for taking the time to explain what is important to you. Our current push with password generation is through our implementation of Apple's password manager resources. Apple describes this as "A place for creators and users of password managers to collaborate on resources to make password management better." In practical terms what that means at the moment for 1Password users is that 1Password will suggest the strongest passwords possible that any given site can accept, as long as that site's password requirements have been added to the Apple repository. Defining a global set of rules seemingly runs contrary to this goal, as what various sites will accept can be quite different. You can still do that though, at least to some extent, if you wish.

Here are some screenshots of the options available in the password generator as it stands:

After you've made your selections, toggling the "use as default for suggestions" option will make the choices you've picked be the default. I'd recommend leaving it on "Smart Password," which is the option that takes advantage of Apple's repo, but if you prefer random or memorable that is possible as well.

I hope that helps!
