Instead of password, I need this feature as well. Lots of hack attempts to people that are trying to guess my username across various sites.

Hi @mattnet1, thanks for sharing your interest in a username generator.

I can definitely see the benefit of such a feature. While I can't make any promises about the development of 1Password, I've added your feedback to an internal request tracker for a username generator. Thanks again!

My bank account was attempted brute forced since someone knew my username (which I use in many of the same places).

I custom changed it to something entirely random.

Then realized this feature would be something extremely helpful in 1pass

Hello again @mattnet1 - I'm sorry to hear of the troubles you encountered with your bank and a feature like this makes perfect sense. We appreciate your feedback!

Any updates on this? This is a feature I REALLY need. When I go into the username field, I should be able to type something, create a random username, or create a Fastmail masked email address.
