Describe the bug If you add a repository and want to add a password by using the 'generate' function, passwords may or may not include special characters (+ , . / etc.). The issue is that this has an impact on the Search Space Depth. The first case (without the special chars) has a depth of 62 (26+26+10) and with special chars of 95 (26+26+10+33).
Overall, it is just a minor security issue because the password has a sufficient length. Nonetheless, it should be straightforward to fix this.
