Hey @ilovescifi,

If you have 1Password set to 'Smart Passwords' it will try to suggest passwords based on the requirements of the website you are on.

You have the ability to amend the password suggestions from within the password generator. Here's how:

  1. Click on the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and unlock 1Password
  2. Click on the round menu next to the search bar and choose 'Password Generator'

Within here you can set the type and length and also have some control over the characters that are used.

I hope this helps, if there are specific websites you are having difficulty generating passwords for please let us know and we can take a look.

Thank you!
