    Does anyone out there know how to configure the new Apple passwords app so the passwords it generates don’t use dashes? I ran into a site that wouldn’t accept a password with dashes (marcos.com if anyone cares). I looked closer at what the app was generating and the only ‘special’ character it used was a dash.

    The format has consistently been:

    Some5-gibbrish-tExt7

    Three groups of mixed case letters separated by dashes. I can’t find a setting anywhere. Posting as an appeal for help and also for anyone else who might have problems with dashes in passwords.
