Steps to reproduce:
The website asked me to change my password. The password manager filled in the old one and proposed me an automatically generated new one, which I selected and I clicked to send the request (and let the password manager replace the password).
Actual results:
The website did not accept the new password, because it did not include a special character (punctuation). Besides, I did not remember the old password and it had already been replaced in the password manager. Furthermore, but this is not on your side, the "reset password" of this site does not work.
Expected results:
Simplest: the password generator should put in a special (punctuation) character; this is more and more often required.
Otherwise: the previous password should be kept in case the new one was recorded too fast.
