Question

Is there a way to remove ambiguous characters from the password generator?

I recently switched from LastPass to 1Password and I am still learning. Is there a simple way to remove specifically the "." and the "-" from the password generator? Most of the websites I use will not accept those two characters as part of a password. Thank you!

In the random password choice, you can disable Symbols
But with this choice, no symbol will be used

Hello @therainred,

Thanks for your question. As @Ekalb mentions (thanks!), the available options for generating passwords can be found by changing the Type and by disabling symbols. There is no way to disable or remove specific symbols only. You can find more details about generating passwords from the below guides in:
* Create a custom password in your browser
* Create your new password in the 1Password apps

If you need further assistance, just let us know! We'll be happy to help!
