Make "Fill Generated Password" use the user default password generator settings

[MichaelStanden]

It would be great if the inline “Fill Generated Password” tool tip that happens on a new website would use these same settings, instead of the default random letter password.

@MichaelStanden Welcome to the forum!

Hm. Actually, this should already be implemented - at least the Help Sites themselves say so:

But we just got the confirmation from a BW developer, that it’s a “bug” for now (no timeline): Context menu password generation ignores parameters - #29 by jensen-af (and that issue was discussed earlier in that thread)

So, this can stay open as a feature request (as long as it’s not implemented) - but it could also be closed (as it’s a bug, that will eventually get fixed)…

I’ve been to the Bitwarden extension, clicked the Generator menu at the bottom, and changed the option for "passphrase, 4 word, cap words and addnumber). Even with those parameters, the generated passwords from the context menu are still using the default p…

 

Closing this thread, because it is not a new feature (just an old feature that is currently under repair).
