Thanks for your feedback on this! We've found that Smart Passwords generally work well in most situations, and shouldn't need to be tweaked. Additionally, the Smart Password Generator is able to use both the passwordrules
attribute, as well as a list collated by our friends at Apple here to automatically pick a password that matches what the site's looking for.
For the best randomness and entropy, it's best to let the password generator in 1Password generate the password, rather than tweaking it after the fact.
