Enpass: 8 stars
It lost 2 stars (2 stars for its unfriendly setting).

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!
To change this situation, we chose ” more options ” and changed the number of digits clearly to 4. Then we got the 4-digit passwords ten times. The process was more complicate than using other password managers, so it lost 1 star.
After that we got ten qualified passwords.
