Customize password generator and configure default settings
Generate password generates passwords that are long, Some websites have limits on the length of the password. It would be nice if we can control the length of the password and also the kind of characters in the password(alphabets/numbers/special characters)

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-NutzalThey'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. -

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.

I have found that I have to go back to Bitwarden to get a proper high grade generator of good passwords. Mainly because of this very feature lacking. (Visionary Account)

Password configuration options, much like auto saving passwords, and suggesting passwords are basic functions of a password manager. Shocking this isn't in there.

That's one thing I like about 1password. I can set a default that's more secure than the default default. I usually have 30 letter long passwords as default as most sites support it, and only lower it when I need too.

While 64 "seems" like more than enough for some people, there really isn't any reason to be so stingy. :) I was a little surprised when I went to create my 1st new entry and that was the limit.
Being a 1Password user, and really wanting to switch to P. P., this is another reason that will prevent that. 64 characters is not future-proofing your product.

en introducir contraseñas deberían aumentar el límite de caracteres a 258, falta un icon qué me diga que se guardan las cosas automáticamente en la nube y la versión de navegador debe ser optimizada para móviles

This really simple client-side-only UX upgrade would definitely improve the password generator's usability for me.
