iCloud Keychain uses a different base set of rules to generate passwords than the Smart Password Generator does. In this case, our set of symbols is !@.-_*
, but Apple's set of symbols only includes -
by default. In this case, because iCloud Keychain is not going to use the @
symbol to generate any possible passwords, the rule wouldn't be necessary for iCloud Keychain to generate a valid password, but would be necessary for the Smart Password Generator to generate a valid password.
With that in mind, I'll go ahead and do what's necessary to get this sorted out in the password manager resources repository, so hopefully soon you should see better passwords when generating passwords at Wendy's! :smile:
