Password Generation

Hello @mcewanbr! 👋

1Password in the browser has a standalone password generator: Create a custom password

But, generally, the idea is that you'll save all of your passwords in 1Password so the workflow in the 1Password for Mac app incorporates both the generation of passwords and the saving of them so that you don't have to do both steps separately with the insecurity of a middle-step of copying generated passwords to your clipboard just so that you can paste them back into 1Password.

I hope that helps. 🙂

It would be nice to have a separate password generator in the app. This is useful for command line work and encrypting zip files etc... Where you won't be keeping the password for yourself.

Hi Support,

Feature Request:

Im also wishing there was a standalone password generator.
(I usually use the mac app).

Im a developer and generate passwords a lot. Most i don't need to save in my 1Password account.
Or if i do they end up in a 1Password notes file temporarily.

I still use the LastPass password generator (https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator) because it lets me customise the length, and turn symbols on and off. The length field is very useful

I would rather use your app.
I've recently moved from LastPass and this is the only feature I have found that seems to be missing

Thanks

Thank you both for the feedback, I've passed along your requests to our Product team. 🙂

We have a web-based password generator here: https://1password.com/password-generator/

+1 to feature request.

I decided to give v8 one more try and was quite disappointed that this simple feature (as it was in v7) is still not implemented in macos v8.

1P in the browser is constantly asking for access (why?) and it is not convenient to open browser every time i need to generate new password.

:(

Can you clarify the request for access portion?

Ive already uninstalled but in safari when i opened 1p extension it asked for permission to access browsing history and more for specific site(s). With options to allow for x time, always, deny and something more.

@fix2k5

We need that permission to perform the following on your behalf.

• The ability to scan (read) the page HTML to determine if it’s fillable. This also tells us where/when to inject the inline menu.

• The ability to autofill (write) to the site. While performing an autofill, it effectively changes the HTML. When you submit the autofill, it will allow you to authenticate it properly.

This requests are Apples way of ensuring you know what permissions an app/extension has and uses. It's another way they are working to ensure your privacy.

I guess this a feature request.

I also want to generate a new password within the iOS app - without using the web-based password generator
(https://1password.com/password-generator/)

Though the web-based generator does work.

Hey @johnmahoney,

I have put in a request with our product team on your behalf.

Let us know if there is anything else we can help with!
