Hi @Wjxfi thanks for the feedback.

why do you want to increase the length of the password so much? Do you have any particular use cases?

In general, the password required in login forms is in the range of 30-40 characters maximum.

I am developing a passphrase creation section (#3), perhaps in contexts where a very long password is required the passphrase can be used, what do you think?
For convenience I could also add the length of the generated string to the passphrase screen so that the user has evidence of the number of characters.

create it however you want. i haven't studied it, so i can't say which is better.
For me I really need such a long password. for file encryption (most important (small passwords are not reliable)), creating special accounts, backups, etc.

OK I can increase the length of the generated password, I'll do some testing from the UI point of view.

As an example KeepassXC and Bitwarden can generate passwords up to 128 characters, so I think it's a good compromise to go that far.
