Who uses emoji in passwords? Come on, be serious. It's not a priority.

This is super important, running into this issue quite a bit.

Agree; this feature would significantly improve the usability of Proton Pass on websites that have restrictive password requirements.

For example, Lufthansa requires you to use a special character, but only accepts these characters: !"$%&'()*+,-/:;#<>?_@\

Sites that put limits on the type or number of specials should be fined. The "guess which special we want!" game is tiring and reduces the security of the password. Customizing the generator would be gold - please do this!

Two special character toggles should suffice. One for the standard !@#$%^&*, and one that includes all the others such as {}:"<>?[];',./.

It would be very beneficial if the password generator had additional customization options such as the ability to set a minimum number of special characters, numbers, or letters that will be included in the username. Additionally, having the ability to select capitalized vs uncapitalized letters and to select which special characters are included in the password. An example of the implementation for this would be a checkbox next to "Uppercase", "Lowercase", "+", "#", "@", etc...

These are the specials characters that the password generator generates:

@ ! # * $ % ^ &

Here are the missing special characters that are missing from the password generator:

< | ( ) . , : ; ” - ‘ [ ] { } + = ~ _ - / ? \

Yeah, even better if the app can reference some list where it knows what is expected and can tailor the pwd to the requirements of that site.

Agreeing with this sentiment - there are no standards for what defines a "special character", so each website or service uses a completely different set. I'm running into a similar issue to Gordon where an online service is refusing generated passwords because it includes special characters outside their character set. It's incredibly frustrating to figure out because the generated password passes all of their requirements but will not allow me to save the password until I only use "approved" characters.

This is very important. I just had a massive issue with my electricity utility's online account system related to this. I had to reset my password and their new password entry field silently dropped unacceptable special characters. The result was that the password entered by ProtonPass into the password field did not match what was also copied to the clipboard. I didn't notice this at first. When I went to login, it didn't accept the password stored in ProtonPass because it still included the special characters which had been dropped by the new password form. Once I realized what the problem was, I had a devil of a time generating a new password that would be accepted because I could not customize which special characters would be used by ProtonPass when generating a new password.

A box next to each character is a bit complex, why not have a toggle for emojis in the same list as numbers and characters, add a field for characters you want to exclude?

It would be GREAT to have the Ability to make a custom list to exclude numbers,letters,Special Characters whenever you generate a new password, and to be able to keep that setting. so I don't have to go in each time and reset exclusions.
A toggle for each category would be great. but mainly a custom list.
as you know some password requirements don't want certain things
and there are some letters that I never want to use.
Note: if these feature already exist they are not as clearly, easy to use.
for a example check out keypassxd

I approve this suggestion because up until I just discovered that Proton offers its own passwords generator, I used another and check how it allows you to select which symbols to include/exclude into your generated random passwords, I expect as much from Proton. 😉

Here is a YouTube video about emoji passwords:

This is a feature in other password managers and really needs to be included. Too many websites still don't support all the special characters and then require manually changing the generated password to meet the requirements.

The US Government will only let me use specific special characters. But I must use special characters. So I would like to be able to limit my special characters to just specific ones. Thank you

Your password must:

- be 9 to 30 characters long
- contain at least one uppercase letter (A-Z)
- contain at least one lowercase letter (a-z)
- contain at least one number (0-9)
- contain at least one of the following special characters: # @ $ % ^ ! * + = _
- change at least four characters from your previous password

Currently the function of "generate password" allows you to select the number of characters, and whether it can contain special characters. Some websites though only authorize the use of certain special characters in a user's password. Some websites only allow $, *, #, !. While other sites allow *, [, ], ^, !, +, _, -, !.

Under advanced options is it possible to implement a text box to explicitly identify the special characters that can be pulled from during password generation?

I like to use special characters in my randomly generated passwords but every site differs what special characters you can and can’t use. It would be nice to have 2 text boxes one for characters, letters or numbers that won’t be used in creating a password and one that will use those that are specified.

For compatibility purpose, one should be able to choose at some degree which symbols should be included in the generated password.

Some websites have some weird problems with some characters other than "@", "#", "$". For example: ".", "!", "^", "%", etc.
