  I don't like that you have to specify a fixed number of numbers, special chars, etc.

    if it's truly random, then you need to if you want to guarantee you have at least 1 of various character classes..

      The -M option does this in apg. (As opposed to -m, which doesn't.)

    I think that's cool from a UI perspective, having that control, because for some services you still want typing to be doable. I mean, try typing this on your PC or mobile phone: &}n9$r}@pe^q;j2U33Aq8.kTa}Z2^ykQ And compare it with this one: dn#Ze39h644s9DdTpaxRaWW&m33Vy98b And yes, their client saves you somewhat, except that there are plenty of instances in which you resort to copy/pasting passwords. Like on Android where the integration is poor. And on the desktop as well. And guess what, copy/paste is really, really insecure, because apps can be made to listen to clipboard events, so you can have apps that are logging whatever you copy/paste. Oh, and Linux doesn't have 1Password, their old Windows client is getting replaced with a "modern Windows" app, so tough luck.
