Hi Jason,

sounds like a good way to circumvent the current shortcoming.

I still think as long as password generation is a feature of pass, this use
case should be supported by the default application.
Fair enough. Can you get this feature into upstream pwgen? Then I can
expose it pretty easily in pass without changing dependencies and
packaging.

I don't think that `pwgen` is the suitable application for this.

Something like
```apg -m $length -x $length -a 1 -M SNCL -n 1 -E $evilchars```
could be a drop-in replacement.

One could add the possibility to configure "SNCL" to modify the usage of whole charsets. The feature asked for can than be easily implemented by just disallowing (-E) symbols which should not be used. The user supplies a list of $symbols and then $evilchars = $all_symbols - $symbols should do the rest.

But as I'm not an expert on those tools nor security stuff, what do you think?

Kind regards,

Michael
