Password Generation Options with Diceware not respecting Advanced tab entries #7

Description

@Truncated

Greetings again! :)

Problem:
When adding the following:
Fields

\/.,'";:~<>{}[]()
to the Advanced--> Exclude the following characters: field, the Preview clearly shows some of the characters listed as being used.
Preview with ignored values

Exclude look-alike characters checkbox is also ignored.

Use-Cases:
I tend to add brackets, slashes, dots, commas and quotes to the "Exclude the following characters" list to avoid the following scenarios:

  • After having passwords essentially crash some coding on linux machines due to quotes or slashes being allowed in the UI but screwing up the programming calls.
  • Exclude characters that are difficult or impossible to enter on specific interfaces, like TVs, Consoles, LCD-push-button-mini devices, etc.

Thanks!
