As I mentioned, if New Login was a shade button it would be far more useful than the password generator, which doesn’t have an easy way to save a generated password with an item in Bitwarden.
Also, don’t forget to check the passphrase generator in the platforms. It already has high entropy and can secure you from security breaches, as well as keeping them memorable, so you can remember later, if necessary.
This is not a duplicate. I am not interested in generating passphrases or pronounceable passwords or inserting additional characters in the password generation. My request is different. As in KeePassXC, I would like to know the quality of the password, the level of entropy of the password and I would like to be able to choose which characters my password should consist of.
Since there are a number of existing feature requests on the password generator, you should probably be more specific if your feature request is different from all of them.
If your request is even slightly similar to an existing one that has a larger number of votes, it is probably better to vote for that request and discuss your recommendations there due to how voting system works.
Some other feature requests I found beyond ones that K0media listed are shown below.
The other part of my request looks like this existing feature request.
Plus I added the screenshot of the KeePassXC password generator to give you an idea of the functionality I was requesting. I believe that it is the most comprehensive password generator out there.
Most websites do not support such extended character sets for password, but if you find a login that does I believe Bitwarden should be able to at least save these within the password fields.
Adding my vote here. Longtime user of BW and premium subscriber. Please add an entropy meter to the password creation page. And also move the password creator to a sub-window of the add item page. That way I can create the item and customize the password in one place. I know pasword customization at item page is available on mobile but I also need it on desktop.
Choose how many numbers you have in the passphrase and position of the number - it could be generated at the beginning of the word too (someone might like to have it anywhere in too)
Option to have multiple word separators or longer separators (if I typed multiple separators, it would randomly take one of them)
Option to mix Uppercase and Lowercase (first letter of the word)
Add a custom dictionary. A word for password would be taken from 2 dictionaries - people could add a dictionary of a different language they speak for example. I would personally get a Czech dictionary and have a password mixed with Czech and English words (no preference for anything, if I had only few words in my custom dictionary, it is very unlikely to have it appear in the generated Password)
Instead of Retool-Overstay-Trend9 we could have 1Retool-47Overstay+Trend9 or Retool–overstay–4Trend9
On all Bitwarden generators, passwords should be user-modifiable before copying. Some websites have very specific requirements (i.e. some special characters are not permitted). Maybe website-specific parameters could be incorporated.
Voted for. I really want a phrase generator that can produce speakable words that don’t exist, e.g., stawkingdock, fragadean, hemlosky, rekotonth, garumflate. I want to be able to choose the number of words and syllables. This will future proof against word based dictionary attacks that will likely get easier as stuff like GPT3 matures. Or worse, somebody designs an ML system that is built around passwords and is used to generate likely word combinations.
I’m posting this feature request here after contacting Support, following their suggestion:
I’m coming from KeePassXC and was surprised to see that the special character options in the password generator (Tools > Generator) were limited to only 8 (!@#$%^&*).
Also, different sites have different password requirements.
There are sites imposing a minimum password length and others imposing a maximum length.
Similarly, there are sites which allow or accept a subset of special characters. Eg.: https://www.oracle.com NOT-ALLOWED: > < ( ) % ; https://signin.ebay.com ALLOWED: !@#$%^&*()_±=;,.?|`~'"
NOT-ALLOWED: []:<>/
I propose the following enhancements:
Make more special characters available to pick from.
Make password generation options per-Item instead of global.
