Password Suggestions not complex enough for some sites

Apple’s password suggestion auto fill always has the same format which limits the search space required for brute force attempts. Also since the only special character in the suggested password is the - character, many sites do not consider that a special character and thus reject the passwords as not complex enough. Apple please use an additional special character at least or allow user to select or customize alternate patterns.

I know what you mean, I wish there were more options when it suggests a password as well.

If you have a Mac computer, there are more options when you manually create passwords in Keychain Access. It allows you to dial in the length and select different 'styles' of passwords and even provides a drop down list of passwords to choose from.
