Hi,
I'm not quite sure where to put this, because I'd love to have this on all platforms.
I would appreciate having a word list for memorable passwords other than just English. I've found various discussions touching this topic, one of the more recent ones here and at one time, 1Password on Windows had this feature, but it seems it did not make it to the lastest version.

So, what are the odds for this to finally making it into 1Password?
If this can't make it into 1Password directly (as 1P has trouble finding a clean word list), how about allowing users to use their own wordlists?

1Password Version: 8.10.5

OS Version: All supported

Any news on this? I’ve seen German word lists when you change the app language to German, but this does not seem to work properly. When I generate, the word list still contains some English words

The dictionary is still mixed, but it's possible to retry clicking until you finally get a phrase that's memorable and German.

For creating a new master password, I invested some minutes and perhaps 200 tries, but finally I got a totally absurd and ridiculous 4 word phrase I was able to memorize immediately because of its strangeness. So I can only say: "works fine for me". Don't use the first phrase you're offered, retry until you get a phrase not just random but also memorable to you.

To validate I was really able to memorize this password, I saved it and checked every few days if I still remember it. After 2 weeks and still no amnesia, I finally changed my master password to it.

Maybe it’s me but things like „try 200 times“ or investing a few minutes to get a diceware password is not something I expect from a premium product like 1Password.
This needs to be improved in my opinion

I fail to see how the intended usage for the diceware password changes the fact that the app is not able to use a wordlist from one single language.

This absolutely is a flaw in the generator.

Also it doesn’t make it easier to remember when you get words from two languages, especially for people who only speak their native language which happens to not be English.
