Description
Bug report
Steps to reproduce
Basically exactly the same issue as in your addon https://github.com/nextcloud/passman-webextension/issues/150, only that it happens in the web interface too.
- Change settings in vault.
- Add a new entry and click on the 🔄 icon.
Strangely, when I clicked on the same icon again, it worked. So maybe a race condition or so here. (the settings not yet decrypted?)
So do that test in a vault with many password and add the new entry while the main screen still shows it's loading icon.
Expected behaviour
Use settings.
Actual behaviour
Ignores settings.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in a vault with many passwords: change the generator settings, add an entry while the main screen is still loading, and click the generate icon. Trace the web interface's password generator and compare its first use with the second; done means the configured settings are applied on the first click.
