Hi Dave,

When I follow that procedure it does work, probably. It generates a password that I think is acceptable to Zoom. The Type was already set to "Smart Password".

This is confusing. It appears that the password generator I used originally is a different generator from the one in the method you described, right? If so this seems like a strange UI design. The method I used is offered to me at the right time in the app (good) and it saves the password for me (good), but it generates a non-smart password that may fail (bad). The method you describe isn't offered to me (bad), I have to know it's there and look for it (bad), and I have to save the password manually (bad), but it provides the smart password that I need (good).

Please suggest to the developers that the UI design would be much more usable and rational if the same password generator was used in both places and it could generate smart passwords.

Thanks,
Mike
