I like the diceware feature, thanks. I’m wondering if the spaces won’t cause trouble here and there though. Are they usually allowed?

One thing I noticed though:

When I set the number of words then switch back to other password types, they are set to that number. While 6 words might be a fine length for a diceware password, it’s no good really, for a random one. Could you make that length field not pay attention to the number of words?
