Description

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to the Generator.
2. Go to Passphrase.
3. Then, you want to define the exact number of words, but there are only -/+ buttons.

### Expected Result

I can type in the number of words AND use the -/+ buttons.

### Actual Result

I can only use the -/+ buttons to define the number of words, which is
a) inconsistent with the other BW apps, where I can use up/down (-/+) buttons as well AND type in the exact number of words)
b) inconvenient --> fictitious example, but if you needed a 3-word-passhprase before and wanted a 20-word-passhprase now (or the other way round) it is very tedious to just use the -/+ buttons and not being able to just type in the number of words directly.

### Screenshots or Videos

### Issue Tracking Info

- [x] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.
