I’m all for using randomly generated passwords, but one thing I’ve noticed about Apple’s auto-generated passwords is they always come in some format like this.

It always follows this exact format. A 20 character password, with three chunks of 6 alphanumeric characters, divided by 2 hyphens. There’s always only one capital letter, and one number in the password.

Wouldn’t it make much more sense to just throw in a random assortment of lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols?
