Thank you for taking the time to provide such detail on the behaviour you are after, this is really helpful.
The default setting for the latest version of 1Password in your browser is to suggest 'Smart Passwords'. This means that 1Password will try to suggest a password based on the requirements of the website you are on. In an ideal world this would work perfectly on every website but I understand there are some scenarios where this is not the case. In that instance I would ask that you send us over a link to the website that is problematic so we can take a look at making some tweaks to improve 1Passwords suggestion on that specific page.
As for manually changing the password specification you can to this from the password generator that is located within 1Password in your browser. If you change the password type from Smart Passwords to Random Passwords you then have a few options to amend the length, numbers and symbols. Although you can't make this the default for a specific website you can copy or fill it on the page you are on or you can set it as the default for all suggestions.
To access the password generator and these additional options first you will need to make sure you are using the latest version of 1Password in your browser. Next, click on the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and choose the round settings menu > Password Generator.
I hope this guidance is helpful. I would always recommend using the latest versions of 1Password so you get to enjoy all of the improvements we make to existing features as well as new features we add.
