If you're finding that the password generated does meet specific criteria, could you let me know on which specific websites you're seeing this behaviour? I can do some testing on my end and share feedback with the team to see if any improvements can be made on our end.
In the meantime, you can manually adjust the password generator for 1Password in the browser when generating a new password on the website with the following steps:
1. Navigate to the page where a password needs to be generated.
2. When you see the inline menu suggestion to "Use Suggested Password", instead click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar to open the overlay.
3. Select the Generate Password option.
4. Click on Type and then select the appropriate type. "Smart Password" is typically selected by default and in this particular case I suggest using "Random Password".
5. Adjust the criteria to the website's requirements.
6. When you're satisfied with the generated password, select the Autofill button to use the password.
