#2439 password generation with custom string does not work

[averlon]

Hi,
I have used password generation with custom strings already for a long time.

One of my standards was: "\u\xdl{5}" where I got e.g. "ux4mzftv".

I changed the setting to "\l\xdl{5}" and got as message in the preview:

Failed to generate a password.

There are too few characters in the character set.

If I understand the docu right, the "\" should escape any of the placeholders, as it did with "u". But "l" seems not to work.

Please check!
Thanks
Karl-Heinz

Working fine for me in V2.61.1. I copied and pasted your text without the quotes.

Exactly how do you generate the error message. All steps please.

cheers, Paul

This is expected behavior, not a bug.

The user most likely has included the Exclude look-alike characters (O0, lI1|) in the password generator profile. See the 'Advanced(!)' tab of the Password generator. The latter group of four characters is: lowercase letter l (elle) , uppercase letter I (eye), one 1, and pipe |.

The KeePass error message is reporting that the user has made the impossible request to both exclude the lowercase letter l and include it in the generated password.

Yes, this is correct.
Since I copied the setting from some other profile I already had stored and only changed the "\u" to "\l" I did not recognize the settings on the "Advanced" Tab.

My fault!
