Maybe it's me that I have to big fingers, but I found really difficult to aim the right number in the Password Generator -> Length selector.

If the selector has fewer possibilities (32 and not 128) or if the selectors could provide also an input fileds it would be easier to use it.

Seconding this request... It's really frustrating to reach the length I want, especially when I am required a maximum of 6 to 12 digits, this range is almost impossible to reach within the first 5 tries. A plus and minus button at the right of the slider, or any other way to change the sensibility of the slider or to force change a single unit would be awesome!

I'm on Android btw, I'm not sure how the iOS app works.

This has also bugged me for a long time. The Android and iOS app here are the same, they both only have a slider to change password length. It'd be really helpful if there was a plus/minus button like on the browser extension and web app to allow a bit more precision where needed, especially as it's much trickier to be precise on a phone touchscreen with fingers than when using a mouse/trackpad I find.
