Can we randomly generate punctuation/capitals? #5

Some sites require punctuation/symbols/capitals/digits. Do you intend to support this? Diceware offers suggestions for how to choose symbols/digits securely. The FAQ page recommends not capitalizing, but I would argue that isn't great advice when your login system measures password strength based on the presence of capital letters, not on bits of entropy.

That would be a good idea. A few other useful ideas:

limit characters generated, using a regex or something
add a flag to randomly replace letters with their leetspeak counterparts
