Save password generator defaults?

[dominikheinz]

The custom password generation preferences I set in Vaultwarden (password length, inclusion of special characters/numbers, and avoidance of ambiguous characters) do not persist when I log into the same instance from a different device.

For example, if I set a password length of 20 and enable "avoid ambiguous characters" on one device, these settings are not remembered when I log in from another device and open the password generator.
It defaults back to the application's initial configuration (e.g., length 14).

Is there a way to save these custom password generation presets so they are applied automatically across all devices I log into, without requiring manual reconfiguration each time?

As far as I know these settings are almost entirely client-side and won't even be sent to the server. If you are fine with enforcing a higher set of minimum requirements you could enable a password generator policy for your organization.

Interesting, I wasnt aware of password generator policies.
I would like a certain "default policy", that will be used when a user generates a new password.
However, I would still want that the user can overview this policy, and chose any other password he wants if needed, when creating a new password entry.
Is that possible? If so, how would I go about doing that?

Well, I don't think there is a way to configure the initial values anywhere so you would have to compile the web-vault yourself with the changes you want. I think the defaults are provided by the following file:
