Can I modify the Password Generator's default so that it skips the special characters? I really do appreciate Safari's password generator, but some web sites don't like the passwords that it creates. For example, a banking site today told me it's time to change my password. The password generator popped up and did its thing, but the web site didn't accept it. The generated password "doesn't meet our standards." Well, this web site told me that new passwords must have "at least one letter and one number." The generated password certainly met those rules. What the site failed to mention is that they DO NOT ALLOW so-called special characters. The minus sign (or hyphen ... whatever) is a special character, and the hyphen seems to be a standard part of every newly-generated password. It took me several tries and a lot of frustration before I finally hit on the problem. My question: Can I modify the password generator's default so that it skips the special characters? Or is this behavior baked into the generator's DNA? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Why are many Apple passwords not accepted because they don't have a special character? My attempt to insert what Apple calls a "strong password" often get rejected because they don't include a special character? What can I do to change an Apple-generated password to add a special character?
