Password Generator Options could do with some "Advanced Options"

My company works with a lot of compliance demands from SWIFT, PCI, etc. and we commonly run into issues that relate to password complexity when wanting to generate randomized passwords.

A feature that would greatly improve the experience. I'll give a couple of examples. In quite a few instances relating to a certain compliance demand, we may not use spaces or dashes (-). As we use passwords with many characters 60+ for the accounts in question, it can be a tedious process for the workers needing to generate these passwords often, when they must have symbols but are unable to exclude dashes specifically.

Another example in another area, we have a demand that we must not use repeated characters. As these passwords need to be memorable, many prefer to use the password generator set to memorable passwords but we repeatedly receive complaints about the passwords generated not meeting the complexity requirements.

I'm sure many companies have these kind of infuriatingly detailed password complexity requirements and often different ones in different locations. By integrating some more advanced complexity options in 1Password you could improve the UX and increase security for companies that will no longer have employees unchecking the symbols option or adding another number to the end of their reused password, simply because the generated password didn't work.
