來自 Firefox 使用者 13366487，8 年前Very handy, been using it for a few weeks and am relatively satisfied with this add-on.
However I think that there are 2 significant blunders or "rookie mistakes."
#1: enforcing a minimum count of a certain type of character. By using the up and down arrows, only a minimum of 2 can be selected. But a 0 (zero) can be manually entered, and should be, to maximize randomness and eliminate a bias. The outline should not be highlighted in red as if it's not a good thing to specify a minimum of 2 characters for a particular type of character.
#2: there is no explanation as to how the random characters are generated, how robust is the cryptographic process. True randomness is very difficult to generate. These passwords are probably good enough for log-in passwords, but what about for use with true encryption? If I need robust passwords for encryption I'd go to grc.com, packetizer.com, or use Keepass.

- Very bad at generating passwords. I configured 20 symbols and set special symbols minimum 5. I got 4-5 occurances of the same special symbol almost every time. This is not ok!
Also, not enough options for generating passwords like: characters to be unique or maximum possibility of the same characters. Not possible to resize dialog if I want more than 20 characters. Sometimes 20 character password occupies more than default field space, but sometimes not. This is because wrong font is used which has variable character width and its not possible to configure normal font.
It is not clear what mean options: both hands, left hand, right hand.
If developer decides to fix issues, then I can change review stars. - 評價 5 分，滿分 5 分來自 Firefox 使用者 18420504，10 個月前

- 評價 5 分，滿分 5 分來自 blasphemousdreams，5 年前I've been using this for a couple of years now. It makes it much easier to come up with passwords. You can determine how many characters, and what type of characters.

- I don't understand. So many people gave it 5 stars but when I installed it in the Firefox in my Moto g4 plus, it did nothing. 'Save settings' is not working, password is not generating. What happened?! Is it really broken or it does not work in mobile Firefox? If it doesn't work in mobile Firefox, then how it got installed?!
A reply from the developer will be much appreciated and I will give a higher rating only because of his reply and if he could guide me to make it work, I will change my rating to 5 stars. - 評價 5 分，滿分 5 分來自 Firefox 使用者 15271884，6 年前
