The password generator is very useful.
However, I would like to see an option to not include characters that are similar.
Here are the characters that I consider to be similar

0 / O
1 / I
I / l
6 / b
9 / q
9 / g
g / q
i / j

Hi!

Thank you for reaching out. We very much agree that similar characters in passwords can be a pain. By default, Connect already excludes some ambiguous characters. The following characters will not be part of a generated password: 0O1Il5S.

I see that it's not the same character set you propose. I'll take it up to the team to see if we can add something to exclude more characters.
