One time password, ok. I didn't know, not a bad thing really.

You can set the password manually too. It will remain set until you change it again.

I have similar problem. I can set and save a password, which then works until the phone is powered off and restarted. After a restart the previously saved password is forgotten and a replaced with a new randomly generated.
I do not see this as a safety feature, it is most definitely a bug.

It's not a bug. I think it's intended to use the generate password feature to generate a unique password for each time.

This way the question title would be a bit more unambiguous, since there are tons of password, you can save on your jolla phone.

If it is considered to be the same/similar question, please close it and add your comments/votes there.
If not, then take a look at this HOW TO on the password aspect of developer mode/root access;
