I'm enjoying using PWM, but I ran into a problem today with a couple of social bookmarking sites; one that required at least one number or symbol (but the generated pw didn't have any), and another that only allowed upper & lower case letters and 0-9 (but again the generated pw violated this rule because it contained a symbol).

Any elegant way around this? I ended up just using one of my standard pws, but I was hoping to abandon standard pws altogether.

By "standard" pw I mean that up until now I was using only about 3 different pws for 90% of my site registrations. I decided to bite the bullet when it became apparent that someone had logged into one of my social bookmarking accounts that was using one of these pws.

Using PasswordMaker's account settings should help. You just make a account (inside a folder, and you need to be in advanced view if you aren't already) and set the required url patterns and the needed tweaks for the site. I'll let someone else explain this in more details, or I can help with questions if you can figure this out on your own.

Another thing I have started doing was only using accounts for sites that are way different than normal (as my username is in my settings for example) and when all I need is the upper/lower letters and numbers, I use the Click edition (it's a bookmarklet) as it's easier than setting up a new account in PasswordMaker for just changing the allowed characters.

Mind you, I'm a bit of a power user, so I may do things a bit more complex than a normal person would.
