Description

When 1password is installed to the browser, it will suggest a new password in when signing up or creating a new password.

It suggestd a password based on the password policy.
When "At least 1 digit" is enabled in the password policy and no requirement on other characters,
it will suggest a password with all characters in numbers.

I expect the password would be a random string with alphabet and digits mixed.

Not sure if it's a 1password bug or something we can change.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the password suggestion with 1Password installed and a policy requiring at least one digit but no other character classes. The issue names no source files or tests; determine whether the behavior is controlled by Authgear or 1Password, and consider the issue done only when the responsible component produces an alphabet-and-digit password or the responsibility is documented.
