It seems that any "strong" password generated by Safari only uses one special character - the dash. Is there a way to configure it so that the random "strong" password will use more special characters than just the dash?
Got a tip for us?

I believe the best you can do is edit the proposed password. I don't see any way to do what you are wanting to do.
It is a problem. Actually, the strong PW really sucks sometimes. I was on a site the other day that required two unique special characters.
How I do it is use an existing strong PW that I have saved to my keychain by copy and paste, then add the extra characters that are required, such as two or more unique special characters.
It never lets me edit Safari's suggested strong password when having to put something in.
