Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/5205

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to the Generator.
  2. Go to Passphrase.
  3. Then, you want to define the exact number of words, but there are only -/+ buttons.

Expected Result

I can type in the number of words AND use the -/+ buttons.

Actual Result

I can only use the -/+ buttons to define the number of words, which is
a) inconsistent with the other BW apps, where I can use up/down (-/+) buttons as well AND type in the exact number of words)
b) inconvenient --> fictitious example, but if you needed a 3-word-passhprase before and wanted a 20-word-passhprase now (or the other way round) it is very tedious to just use the -/+ buttons and not being able to just type in the number of words directly.

Screenshots or Videos

Android app (2025.4.0) -- only app, where the number of words can't be typed in:

Browser extension 2025.4.0 -- the number of words can be typed in:

(Windows) Desktop app 2025.3.0 -- the number of words can be typed in:

Web Vault 2025.5.0 -- the number of words can be typed in:

Additional Context

PS: Maybe in the iOS app, the same inconsistency is also there?!

I would only add, that the iOS mobile app should be checked as well regarding this issue.

that the iOS mobile app should be checked

In the latest iOS version is the same you can't edit the textfield, only you could use +/- buttons.
