Readability of password #27

Currently the app displays the password in non-monospace font. This creates ambiguity when you are typing them out on separate devices. Notably I had problems with I, l, and |, each corresponding to uppercase I, lowercase l, and symbol |. This has made me either go through several versions and find the one that has no ambiguity, or limit the character set to eliminate them. Copy-paste is not an option since it needs to be typed in separate location. I propose either:

  1. display generated passwords in monospace, or
  2. add option to eliminate ambiguous characters.
