But the disabled checkmark is shown as active, right? That means you enforce the password to include a special character via an organization policy.

So it's not a Bug, but rather you need to uncheck the "!@#$%^&*" checkbox in the policy (setting "Minimum special" 0 won't cut it)

original report:

Subject of the issue

After needing a URL-safe secret, I've updated my organisation's "Password generator policy" by setting "Minimum Special" to 0 but it keeps on jumping back to 1 in the generator.

Both in the (synced) Firefox add-on and directly in the web vault under Tools, the generator does not allow unchecking the "!@#$%^&*" checkbox (as it's disabled), nor reducing setting "Minimum Special" from 1 to 0.

After reducing setting "Minimum Special" from 1 to 0, it immediately jumps back to 1.

P.S. Not sure if this is caused by vaultwarden or all the clients I've used.
