Enpass: 8 stars
It lost 2 stars (2 stars for its unfriendly setting).
Annoying to drag the thumb of the seekbar (lost 1 star here)

Inconvenient to choose digits as compositions(lost 1 star here)
After changing the password length and choosing digits as password content, we found the password consists of both numbers and letters!
