Regular expression for the password generator

[w15eacre]

The password generator allows users to provide a sequence (also "Also Choose from" or "Do not include"). The first option is clear: the generator may use your specified sequence. The "Do not include" option, however, also lets users specify characters to exclude, but it becomes inconvenient when you need to exclude a large number of symbols.

For example, if I need to generate a hex password in lowercase, the "hex" button doesn’t work properly because it only excludes uppercase symbols. A solution for this could be using a regular expression. To exclude non-hex symbols, you can use: [^a-fA-F0-9].

I can share a PoC if you need it.

We are not making changes to the password generator anymore. You are welcome to implement this for yourself but we are unlikely to merge it.

Ok, could you say what the reason for that is?

For one this is an anti-pattern to generating passwords, for two this introduces more complexity and possibly more input elements on the generator which is already rather complex.
