Hey vishalsheth:

On behalf of Alvin, you're very welcome!

Just as an additional note, 1Password in the browser's Smart Password Generator when generating a "smart password" in the browser relies on both the passwordrules HTML attribute, as well as the apple/password-manager-resources repository created by our friends at Apple. If a site sets passwordrules, or if their rules have been added to the password-manager-resources list, 1Password in the browser will use those rules to generate a password that meets their requirements. Additionally, we've restricted the special characters used by the password generator to !@.-_*, as we've found that these are accepted in most places.

Let me know if that helps!

Jack
