REQ - Password Generator customization
I'd like to be able to customize the passwords generated by 1Password more.
For instance with the "Memorable Password" option I'd like to be able to have it add numbers, special characters, random...

Yes, but sort of no.
I'd personally like a few more options. It's Ok now.
I'd like to use the same separator (or none) for the whole password, but have that separator picked randomly from a customized list.
I want the password to have a pattern I can easily grasp at a glance and remember just long enough to re-type somewhere, while not having every password use the exact same pattern.
It's finding my personal balance of security and convenience.
- Simple memorable collection of random words.
- Change capitalization rules randomly, but not crazy. Easy to see at a glance but not predictable ahead of time. Make a random word all caps or start each word with a capital. Consistent in a single password, but varying across passwords.
- Change / remove separators randomly. Again, consistent in one password, but not across passwords.
- Optional total random chars. Not always at the end, not always at the beginning, sometimes in the middle. Preferably not scattered throughout, but grouped as if it was a word. 3 or 4 chars would probably be good enough for me.
Ex:
987-crazed-skyrocket-smoky
entire\123@1\olympics\upcoming
SpeechEsophagusSetting
dilation_HURT_%$#_defacing
CRUMPET-CLUNKY-BOASTFUL-321@#
You can mostly hold each of these passwords in your mind for a few minutes, but they are still a bit more complex than average.
