The password length in the password generator is picked by moving a slider.
Although this is a fine principle, I would like to be able to override the number manually too.
Especially on mobile I sometimes have to slide around to pick the exact length I want to have. Being able to type in the number would be nice.
This will be available in next browser release.
I saw this was added to the browser extension but the generator on the website still has the old style: Strong Password Generator | Bitwarden.
I’m not sure who thought it would be a good idea to use a slider for precision number selection – especially when the slider width is so small.
Ideally users should be able to enter a number or use big up/down arrows. IMHO, from a UI perspective, sliders are better suited for fluid ranges where precision is not important.
Yep. I came here to ask about this - the slider is too small on mobile phone (Android 13, Pixel 6 pro). And I wish there was a way to just type the number directly.
Android password generator is a pain! slider changing the number of digits causes the screen to jump around to suit the new number, no way to manually select the number and type a new number.
I want 10. Use slider and its total pain in the butt.
Just want simple. select the number, type 10, and done. Can we fix that please.
Otherwise a new user fed up with finalpass who is sick of the way they treat people.
Imagine a storage facility you are renting. You go and they say we have rearranged everything for you as boxes may not be over 3" high anymore. However we have split everythingup and its all there.
Golly gosh WTF is what i say. How dare they treat paying customers like that.
Anyway glad to see bitwarden seems to be more customer oriented.
Minsik.
Or at least variable sensitivity when you hold the slider and move away from the sliderbar (like the time slider on youtube for example).
Its been a while. Version Desktop 1.48 has a up/down adjustment for the number but the android version still appears to be slider only and very hard to get an minor change android version is 2.8.0 Maybe its just my fat fingers.
Why in the Bitwarden application on an Android smartphone (I do not know about other devices) in the password generator I cannot enter with the keyboard how many characters the password should have.
Only the slider is available. Sometimes it’s hard to choose a specific password length. On the computer in the extension, I can simply type on the keyboard! Why can’t I do the same on my smartphone?
What will this feature change? It will speed up the generation of a password of a given length. It’s just a minor modification and the interface will be more useful 
Since you ask why it isn’t included, I suspect there is not direct entry for numbers because the interface is cleaner without it and for most people it is not necessary.
Even in portrait mode, I can usually pick the value I want quickly with the slider. And if you want more precision, just rotate your phone to landscape.
Having said that, I don’t mean to de-legitimize your request. I can see how some would prefer direct entry. 
while different from the Android app, but there is this functionality in the browser extension. we made a short video on it last week x.com
But adding this option will not affect the appearance of the interface, as it will not change anything. Just add that after clicking on the number, the keyboard will appear and that’s it;)
OK, I follow what you are saying - just make the number label a text box for input via the keyboard.
Password generator password length specifier on Android App AND iOS App only have slider. All password generator forms in any interface need text input box (at least). It is far too difficult to “hit” the exact number with the slider.
I’m a user of your password manager and would like to suggest a small usability improvement.
On Android, when generating a password, adjusting the length currently requires swiping a slider, which makes precise control a bit difficult.
It would be helpful to have a feature such as plus (+) and minus (–) buttons to adjust the password length more accurately during generation.
Please consider adding a feature like this. Thank you for your great work!
@Yukitaro Welcome to the forum!
I moved your post into this existing feature request to the same topic. – I hesitated a bit (if your request should stay as it is or could be merged with this one), but for one you wrote “e.g. plus/minus buttons” in your title - and then, I can’t imagine implementing a “type number” scenario, where those plus/minus buttons would be missing… (example: the current browser extension has no slider anymore, you can type the number and there are “plus/minus” buttons)
(screenshot from the current browser extension…)
So, I hope it’s okay, that I merged…
Hi @Nail1684 ,
Thank you as always for your kind support.
I’m attaching a photo of the current “Password Generator” screen on my smartphone (Pixel 7a, Android 15).
(Since taking a regular screenshot was blocked (possibly due to security restrictions), I photographed the screen directly.)
The red box highlights the slider used to adjust the password length.
As a reference for the plus/minus buttons I mentioned, I pointed to the ones already implemented for “Minimum number of digits,” which I’ve marked in orange.
I’d be grateful if you could take another look at it when you have a moment.
Thank you again!
Best regards,
Yukitaro
The passphrase generator on Android mobile already has the same buttons:
Though, you can’t type/“edit” the number of words. 
BTW, you can allow screenshots in the mobile app: Settings → Other → Allow screen capture
Does that mean, you want me to move your posts into a separate feature request (only about the +/- buttons ?!) again?
Note: I added “instead of a slider (including +1/-1 buttons)” to the title.
I assume, that everyone who wants to be able to type the number, would probably have no objection against additional +1/-1 buttons (and probably many would also want +1/-1 buttons as well - one or two other posts also mentioned it in this Feature Request), that’s why I added that to the title now.
Furthermore, we already have the +/- buttons in the other BW apps, so it would also be good for consistency, to have it the same way in all BW apps - here how it is implemented in the current browser extension (for both the password and passphrase generator, you can type the number AND have +1/-1 buttons):
(and it looks the same in the current desktop app and web vault also)
