Hello,

first of all: Really nice project!

I very often encounter the problem that services do not allow all symbols used by pass/pwgen. "Your password has to contain at least one of the following symbols '*#_!'" (e.g. '<' is forbidden)

This does hinder my work-flow as I have to manually adapt the password to match the criteria.

Straight-forward solution to this problem would be to provide the symbol set via optional command line argument to the generate command.

Example: pass generate *-s "*#_!"* path/to/password 20

I already checked man page and source code of pwgen. Unfortunately this feature is not provided out of the box.

I see multiple possible solutions to this:
- Exchange pwgen with apg (possibly massive side-effects)
- Extend pwgen
- Let pass itself convert unwanted symbols generated by pwgen (hacky)

What do you think?

Cheers,
Michael Hoff
