"Unambiguous" can be subjective. I sort of like the control offered by the current solution.

In any case, adding a line after this might work:
https://github.com/zx2c4/password-store/blob/f152064da9832d6d3d2b4e75f43f63bf2d50716f/src/password-store.sh#L516

Something like this:
		-u|--unambiguous) characters="ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQ...vwxyz1234567890~!@#$%^&*()_-+={}[]|:;<>,.?"; shift ;;
