How do you set up how Safari suggests passwords?

How do you see all of the suggested passwords by Safari before you accept them? Sometimes it won't include a capital letter and will be rejected, or include a symbol that the site doesn't take, etc. For that matter, why can't I see the whole thing before I accept it?

I don't think you're able to. I use this free app: StrongPassword. It doesn't show all of them but is extremely effective in generating complex passwords. You can also have more numbers and special characters along with the letters.



I then add a Capital letter to it and a number to fit most requirements. I usually go for 16 characters and add a two digit number to bring it up to 18. I also save all passwords in a password protected database so as not to tax my memory. I also use Safari's Passwords feature to keep them also.
