how to generate a password?

This is our common pain :)

Hello @redtara! 👋

You can generate a password when creating a new Login or Password item:

Alternatively, you can find a custom password generator in 1Password for Safari:

I hope that helps! 🙂

I know how 1P should work, I've been using it since the first version. I have no password generator option either in Safari 1P or the desktop version. Yes, I can create a new password when creating a new login in that window, Which does not always work and I have
to using Safari password creator as 1P has failed.

Thank you for the reply. It looks like you've posted a picture of Quick Access which indeed does not include a password generator. Quick Access is meant to be a tool that you can use to quickly look up existing items: Get to know Quick Access

I have no password generator option either in Safari 1P or the desktop version.

Can you try the following steps:

1. Open Safari.
2. Click on the 1Password icon in Safari's toolbar (not in the menubar at the top of your screen).
3. Click the button.
4. Click Password Generator.

If one the steps doesn't work then can you tell me which one and what you see on your screen? 🙂

(not in the menubar at the top of your screen). That was the critical info I needed. Thanks.

I'm happy to help. 🙂

So, I need to make minimum 5 clicks of the mouse just to create a password. It's very inconvenient. Before I made 1-2 (ONE OR TWO) clicks to do this. If You need to do this constantly this is VERY annoying.

Oh, I forgot - You need to discard saving this new password (I will save it from website form later). This is 2 more clicks. Before I copy to Clipboard a new password only and 1Password window closed itself automatically.

If you'd like to generate a password for a website then 1Password in the browser can do that for you right on the page:

1Password will generate and save the password for you. There's no need to manually generate a password and go through the process of copying and pasting passwords from a website to 1Password. You can read more here: Get to know 1Password in your browser

It looks like you've posted a picture of Quick Access which indeed does not include a password generator. Quick Access is meant to be a tool that you can use to quickly look up existing items...

It's also meant to be a replacement for 1Password mini, which did have a very convenient "Generate Password" button at the top of its window. I, for one, would love to see it make a return in Quick Access, because sometimes you need to generate passwords outside of Safari.

I often generate passwords for other purposes, not only web forms. And Chrome uses its tooltip to create the password in the forms and I don't see a 1Password offer to generate the password. I have attached screenshot from wsj.com (as an example). Or is this a 1Password suggestion?
