some websites have password limits, the minimum limit that Bitwarden generates will be over the limit. so, please reduce the passphrase words minimum limit to 2

@b49478 Welcome to the forum!
What types of websites were you planning to use such a password for? Can you provide some examples (real or hypothetical)? With a 2-word passphrase, there are only 60 million possibilities, which makes the password very easy to guess. Is there a reason why you can’t use a password consisting of a random string of characters instead?

there are a lot of traditional website that don’t support long password. as my country, china, Baidu support only 15 chars long password.
as for the security, the different divider “-”, caps or not, different position of the number, could add up to a lot of possibilities.
for the a random string of characters, it is not easy to type on a different device.

Is it really that difficult to type only five characters? (for example, N2y&8)
Yes please. I just tried to generate a new password for my Spectrum account. They have a maximum character limit of 20. Everything I generated with BW was over that because of the 3 word minimum. There should either be an option to use ‘2’ words (have it default to 3 each time) or to let me specify the character maximum.
A two-word passphrase is about as secure as a password consisting of 5.5 random lowercase letters.
When faced with a low character limit, you would be better off switching over to the password generator, instead of the passphrase generator.
Fortunately for us Bitwarden users, it generally is not necessary for most of our passwords to be memorable or easy to type, due to the magic of auto-fill.

That’s why I also suggested the alternative of being able to specify a character limit. At 20 characters, that could be 3 words if it picked some long and some short words.
And normally I use passwords, but sometimes I need to manually type in a password on a different computer or device and typing words is much easier than random gibberish.

The character limit is 20 . I think it should be more than 20.
