Description Andre Robatino 2025-03-29 02:46:38 UTC
I noticed that when using the "All printable (excluding space)" option for Character Set, the resulting passwords now only include "!" and no other special characters. All the other Character Set options seem to still work normally. It happens on both F42 (gnome-password-generator-2.2.2-1.fc42.noarch) and F41 (gnome-password-generator-2.2.2-1.fc41.noarch). To illustrate, here are several 99 char passwords generated sequentially with the "All printable (excluding space)" option:

For some reason I couldn't downgrade on F42, but if I downgrade to gnome-password-generator-2.1.0-17.fc41.noarch on F41, the passwords again look normal, for example

There is indeed a bug in the definition of this character set. I’m working on a fix.
