Steps To Reproduce

In the Microsoft Edge - Bitwarden app:

When using the password/passphrase generator, I cannot choose the password option. When actually clicking the password option, it generates a passphrase. This is regardless of what we have set for our corporate settings (we allow both).

The problem with passphrases is when some sites dont support high character counts, a passphrase can sometimes be less useful, and require manual character removal. This makes auto-saving the password not work.

Here is a video showing the problem:

Thank you,

Expected Result

If choosing password, it should still generate a random character password, not a passphrase.

Actual Result

It keeps generating a passphrase.

You can close this. It seems to have fixed itself (it was happening across several users, across multiple computers, so thats what I opened the bug). Is it possible a server-side update was pushed that fixed this? (Not certain, just guessing).
