Password Generator Improvements

I really enjoy using the password generator. I prefer using the "Memorable Password" both because I think length is more secure than complex and because I still sometimes have to type passwords.

After using the generator for a while there are some things I find clumsy about it.

1) For the passwords themselves I would wish for a length setting. I prefer whole words on the memorable password (because they are memorable) but I run into length limitations a lot. For example Fidelity's password limit is 20 characters. They also have an extensive set of special characters that are not compatible in their passwords. Having settings in the password generator that would allow me to tweak those values and only generate valid passwords would be a big help. I finally had to pick a password, take it to notepad and edit it to get a combination of valid length and characters.

2) When using the password generator with a new service I have difficulty with selecting a password, making sure it is accepted by the site, and then saving it in 1Password. My usual method is to cycle to find a password, copy it, paste it into the web site, and then try to create a 1Password entry. It's really easy for the copy to get clobbered in that process and lose the generated password. I would find it handy to have a button for "Last Copied Password". I could see a case for calling "Last Copied Password" insecure since it would leave that password available unless a timeout was imposed. However looking at the notepad where I copied and edited my password also is arguably more insecure.
