The IRS wants a special character in its password. My suggested passwords have none. How can I change the format the Mac is suggesting?

To answer your question Safari's "strong password generator" has no option to change the format.

I already suggested that Apple provide some means of doing that, but you're welcome to add your own opinion: http://apple.com/feedback/macos.html

There are plenty of customizable password generators around, such as https://passwordsgenerator.net


Thanks John Galt —you are correct, Safari does keep you from copy & paste, or amending the psswd generator.



There certainly are plenty to choose from, to name a few more...
