I recently discovered the smart password feature and am excited about it. That is something I've been griping about for years, probably when it even existed. I have a feature request that I've seen others in the forum allude to. Offer a memorable smart password with random characters, capitalization, and maximum length as needed. If the entropy is not sufficient for the site for this feature, it makes it unavailable with an explanation. Yes, I understand 1password autofills for me. No, I don't want to get into the discussion why I prefer memorable passwords, they are the same reasons as previous requests. By allowing 1password to make the decision, it allows people that are already generating memorable passwords for a site and then removing a word to get the maximum character count at least have the option to generate with good entropy. 1Password Version: 8.10.34 Extension Version: 2.25.1 OS Version: macOS Sonoma 14.5 Browser: Safari

Thanks. I can let the team know this is something you're interested in. I can't make any promises on when/if such a feature may be considered. However, I can ensure the team hears your voice.

You're welcome.

Seconded! I love the "Smart Password" option in the browser plugin. The default format it uses creates random passwords with just enough pattern/structure to make it easier for meat-brains to process when reciting, copying, typing in manually, etc.
I would like to be able to default to the standard format of the 'smart password' option from the browser plugin anywhere I have to generate a random password.

So yeah. 1 year later, more or less.
