Password Generator - Automatic / Manual Generation Option

Effects all Bitwarden browser, mobile and desktop using the password generator.

When you open the password generator, it automatically creates a new password. While this feature speeds up the process and eliminates the need to click “generate,” it introduces a different challenge. If you use a generated password and later need to retrieve it from the history, the generator will automatically create another new password, adding it to the history. This can lead to confusion, as the more times you open the generator and automatically generate new passwords, the harder it becomes to find the specific password you wanted to manually save in Bitwarden.

Secondly, if I open the generator and want to create a new password while customizing its characteristics—such as adding or removing special characters or adjusting the length—the generator automatically generates a new password before I can make these changes, also adding unneeded passwords in the history.

Perhaps make it not automatically generate a new password, and click “generate” to create a new one, or at least give the user the option to change this automatic to manual password generation.
