1P8 Password Generator Strength Good versus Fantastic

@BobArch2 Storing your credentials in a spreadsheed "for reference" is horrible from a security point of view. And it's tedious, probably unneccessary work. It seems you don't actually trust a password manager to keep your credentials safe.

The reference I posted tells about the rating of a password directly created inline in the password field of the 1Password app. Not a password that was generated inline, copied somewhere, and pasted back. The moment you paste a password into the password field (or edit the password) the password loses its property of being "generated from true random charactes" to "unknown, if generated from random characters", because pasting a password doesn't copy this informating along, and this is what the rating lowers.

If you paste a password, the rating function doesn't know if the pasted password was once created using true randomness, so it cannot give the best rating. If you create the password inline with the integrated generator and directly save this created password, the rating function knows that the integrated generator was used to create this password, the generator uses true randomness, and this is what it enables the function to give a better rating.
