Hi @mcnahum!

Yes: when you are in the password generator in the 1Password browser extension, you can enable the option Use as default for suggestions to do this.

I don't see that option ... is it in 1Password X beta too?

@mcnahum:

Yes, it's also in the beta of the beta extension. Can you post a screenshot of what the password generator window looks like to you in the browser?

By default 1Password will suggest what we call a "Smart Password" based on the site specifications. If you'd like to adjust the default offering, you'll have to do so directly from the extension.

  1. Click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar.
  2. Click "+" and choose Password Generator.
  3. From here you can adjust the "Type" to suit your preferences.
  4. Once you've adjusted the preferred parameters of the password you wish to have offered, you will be able to select "Use as default for suggestions" as Ana suggested above.
