Same here. Strange behavior right now. I want 30 or 40 chars random passwords but whenever I change this setting, it is reset to 20 chars every time.
Other password managers do remember the last settings used.

Similar to the feature where you can adjust password length by number of words, except for characters. I'm semi-regularly encountering websites that I need to use but require passwords with fewer than 25 (or even 20!) characters.

Currently the "random password" generator shows the number of characters as you generate a password, but the "memorable password" does not. Right now you either have to guess or manually count when trying to fit into a websites character limit.

For me, I like to exclude characters. I don't like 1lOoi, basically any character that could look like another.

In order to keep my passwords fresh and increase security all while maintaining the ability to actually remember them, i have fwo approaches to creating passwords that involve a word, a number, a specific nontraditional character, and a specific approach to how i create the new passwords. They often relate to each other for a maximum of 4 passwords, but the variation is such that they always register as strong and the similarities are off extremely limited value to hackers.
institute the concept of custom rules, sequences, and preprogrammed rules/sequences.
For example, a rule could be "for every letter typed, follow by a number", then a sequence could be "every number shall be a multiple of 4; start-0"

Then after some experimenting and suggestions from users, general rules and sequences could be added as the service grows. I'll include some more elaborate examples of sequences taken from Excel and its application of it. Ill post text and try to include the screenshot if possible.Its been a joy!

Syntax:
=SEQUENCE(rows, [columns], [start], [step])

rows: Number of rows for the array

[columns]: [Optional] Number of columns for the array. Defaults to 1 if omitted

[start]: [Optional] Starting value for the sequence. Defaults to 1

[step]: [Optional] Increment between each value in the sequence. Defaults to 1

Return value:
An array of sequential values, arranged as specified by the rows and columns arguments.

How to use:

Use SEQUENCE to generate a list of numbers in an orderly sequence. This function can be used to create simple numeric sequences.

Examples:
Simple SEQUENCE

Creating a Sequential Number List: To generate a vertical list of numbers from 1 to 5:
=SEQUENCE(5)

This formula produces an array of 5 numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in a vertical arrangement.

SEQUENCE for Two-Dimensional Arrays
Generating a Two-Dimensional Number Grid: Creating a 3×3 grid of sequential numbers:
=SEQUENCE(3, 3)

This formula creates a 3×3 array, with numbers from 1 to 9 arranged in three rows and three columns.

SEQUENCE with Custom Start and Step
Creating a Custom Sequence: Generating numbers starting from 10, incrementing by 5:

=SEQUENCE(4, 1, 10, 5)
Produces a vertical array: 10, 15, 20, 25.

SEQUENCE for Negative and Positive Ranges
Counting Up and Down with
SEQUENCE: Creating a sequence from -5 to 5:

=SEQUENCE(11, 1, -5, 1)
Generates a vertical array from -5 to 5.

I too have run across multiple cases where I could use capabilities I do not have in Proton Pass. I am SLOWLY trying to transition from 1Password.

• Allow me to control password length
• Allow me to control the list of acceptable special characters
• Allow me to set how minimum for each character type

• Generalized Health-Strength assessment is not very helpful... I something more quantitative... Hive Systems time to ***** would be better as would these metrics... not sure which is best but having the ability to see them all woulld cover all the bases...
• Include a test-check for user created and ProtonPass generated passwords to see if they have been used / found in breached data using HaveIBeenPawned and other resources.

UIC: https://www.uic.edu/apps/strong-password/

OpenLearn: https://www2.open.ac.uk/openlearn/password_check/

Password Meter: https://passwordmeter.com/

I believe UIC and Password Meter are the same...

A Proton Pass Password Health-Strength Tester will help Proton customers by giving us a trusted place to test passwords while creating them. It will also give us a better picture of the Health of all our passwords and allow for the setup of criteria to improve them. Finally, if it is public, it will give all users a trusted source to generate and create and test passwords and measure there strength as comprehensively as anywhere. This will result in more people adopting Proton Pass and other Password Managers. It could also generate income from links to other password managers that Proton (which is interested in security and privacy for all ) recommends based on their fidelity to Proton's goals of privacy and security for all internet users. I is wise to supply the needs of a marketplace.

It would be nice to have, in addition to the password generator, a passphrase generator in the app, as Bitwarden does.

I use the 1Password (older version and it is a standalone one) to keep all my passwords. I like their password generator which allows to customize the length of the passwords, and what characters/numbers can use or not.
I think the 64 charaters password is just not sufficient enough for today world thou.

Then go use BitWarden lol

I agree, I'd like this to be added very much

I wish there were another password type for generation, to make passwords that are vaguely pronounceable, and are almost entirely lower case letters, but also include upper case and digits and a symbol.

What I'm envisioning is something along the lines of:

Chunks made up of six characters, which are made up of two random consonant-vowel-consonant syllables.

A password is maybe three of those chunks, with two having a random character (preferring first/last characters) tweaked to be either uppercase or a digit, and the chunks separated by dashes.

Ultimately it would generate passwords kind of like
wotsuv-8ugpaj-Nutzal

They're mostly lower case, so they're easy to type. They also include four main character classes, so they'll satisfy most sites' requirements. Being pronounceable also makes them easy to hold in your short term memory while typing them in on devices or something, and maybe easier to memorize.

I feel like these would strike a balance between the memorable passwords, which are really slow to type but easy to hold in short term memory, and fully random gibberish passwords.

By my reckoning a system like this should be north of 65 bits of entropy for 3 chunks, which seems pretty good enough.

Not the most important thing but yeah,

For now you can use the "memorable" password option with a lower word count to generate a username (it's what I did here).

Also, speaking of password generation settings, please let the Chomium plugin read the desktop app's settings, or move those settings to cloud so that all instances of Proton Pass can use the same password generation settings. Currently the browser plugin, when asked to generate a password, always starts with default settings and I have to adjust them manually, every time, it can't even remember the last used configuration.

This is very useful inedeed. Actually 1P has extended this feature even further, they now generate a password that meets the requirements of the website (not sure how they do it, and certainly there are sites where this doesn't work, but despite of that is very useful).

Many websites that I use ask for complex passwords but do not allow specific special characters which are being used to generate passwords on Proton Pass. If we could specify which characters to use would be extremely helpful.

Enhance the password generator to allow users to set custom rules for password creation, such as excluding certain characters or specifying length and complexity requirements.

Benefits:

Provides more control over password creation to meet specific security policies or preferences.
Helps users create passwords that adhere to varying requirements across different platforms.
Use Case:
Users can generate passwords that fit specific criteria for their accounts or systems, improving compliance with security policies.

Length, both random and memorable passwords.
Allowed characters list for random passwords.
Option to change separator character for memorable passwords.

Done

Already have this feature lol

Can you please give more advanced options in the app's password generator like seen in other password managers apps such roboform.

Such as exclude symbal types,allow certain amount of letters and numbers per password. As some websites are very picky in the passwords they allow.
