Desktop Verson Won't Generate Different Passwords by Default

   Hi anon,

   Thanks for all of these details!

   As soon as you change a field in the settings screen, the password should immediately update to reflect the change.

   Do you see yourself capable of opening a cmd screen and running the program through the command-line, then provide any output you see when you reproduce the issue?

   In cmd, you would first use cd to go to the directory that contains your jar file and then the java -jar masterpassword-gui.jar command to start the app.

   I repeated the above steps and all it says in the command prompt is:

   D:\Username\Desktop>java -jar masterpassword-gui.jar
   189             WindowsProvider [INFO ] Starting Windows global hotkey provider
   488             WindowsProvider [WARN ] Could not register hotkey: HotKey{ctrl meta P}

   So, when you add your example site, change open the settings screen, and change the type to Medium or change the Counter value, the password remains the same?

   Yep, the command window also stays the same if I close the GUI directly.

   Ah - you are referring to sites that you did not yet add to the user.

   Understood, I can reproduce the issue now.

   If you add the site (hit enter), then you will be able to modify it without issue.

   Oh I see, thank you.

   I was working with the android app earlier and it didn't have an option to add sites so I thought it would work similarly.
