This should be updated too:

data class PassphraseGeneratorRequest (
    /**
     * Number of words in the generated passphrase.
     * This value must be between 3 and 20.
     */
    val `numWords`: kotlin.UByte, 
    /**
     * Character separator between words in the generated passphrase. The value cannot be empty.
     */
    val `wordSeparator`: kotlin.String, 
    /**
     * When set to true, capitalize the first letter of each word in the generated passphrase.
     */
    val `capitalize`: kotlin.Boolean, 
    /**
     * When set to true, include a number at the end of one of the words in the generated
     * passphrase.
     */
    val `includeNumber`: kotlin.Boolean
) {
    
    companion object
}

Any movement on this?

Any movement on this? The bug in #4913 still exists and this is literally 2 lines and does not have conflicts with main.

[EranBoudjnah]

@cheintz I don't think anyone's looking at any of these. I was motivated to contribute but lost interest since it's obviously a wasted effort...

[cheintz]

Indeed, thank you for your efforts, it's a shame they haven't been integrated. Perhaps enough similar efforts will accumulate to the point that a fork is worthwhile, though the security concerns with such a fork are very severe.

Hi @EranBoudjnah

Thank you for this contribution.

The GeneratorViewModel change looks great.

I left a comment regarding the change to default behavior on MasterPasswordGeneratorViewModel. It should be reverted.

Additionally, I do not see any tests being updated/added. Please add tests to validate this change in behavior.

Since this ultimately results in UI behavior changes, please attach a screenshot and/or video of the new behavior.

And finally, since this change fixes empty word separator without modifying the initial default value, can you update the PR title?

[SaintPatrck]

This alters the default behavior for users who have never saved generator preferences. When options is null the DEFAULT_SEPARATOR must be used. Please revert this change.
