Generator works as expected in Firefox extension (Windows), but not in Safari on iOS.

Expected behavior in Firefox :

  1. Click "Generator" in Bitwarden extension
  2. Choose "Passphrase" instead of "Password" and edit some settings like the separator character
  3. During a sign-up process, right click the new password field > Bitwarden > Generate password
  4. CTRL + V and you get a passphrase

Unexpected behavior on Safari for iOS :

  1. Click "Generator" in Bitwarden extension
  2. Choose "Passphrase" instead of "Password" and edit some settings like the separator character
  3. During a sign-up process, tap on the password field > tap the key icon on the right > tap Bitwarden > tap "+" > tap "Generate a password"
  4. A password is generated, not a passphrase, and you are unable to generate a passphrase from there (altough otherwise stated at the bottom of this screen)

Device : iOS 12.4.3 (Iphone 6)

Thank you,
J
