Many websites nowadays require the user's passwords to contain at least one special character. This is an annoying requirement and sometimes overkill, but it seems to be gaining popularity.
Meanwhile, secure passwords generated by Firefox only contain latin letters and numbers. It would be great if the set of characters used for generating them could be expanded with a few "safe" special characters, such as @#$%, at least. Right now, when a website requires my password to contain some of these, I usually just end up appending one at the end. If Firefox took care of adding that character for me, the password would be more random.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Password Manager' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
