Password needs at least 1 number

Open andzi opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

alphanumerics + symbols not working as should be for strong password (at least every item once)

steps to reproduce:

settings: hash:sha256; length:10; alha+symb domain: github.com master: github

result: error "Password needs at least 1 number"

Different websites have different password requirements. In fact forcing passwordmaker to include at least 1 alphanumeric char + 1 symbol would reduce security (making generated passwords more predictable). Not sure how to address this.

I'm not shure how it will reduce, but this feature definetely should be optional, as competitors do see.: http://passwordgen.org/ There is an option to make sure the password contains at least one symbol of each type (upper/lower case letters, digits, punctuation).
