Password Generator is missing in Quick Access of 1Password 8

I have upgraded to 1Password 8, and found Password Generator is now missing in its Quick Access window. Any reason for that ?

I found the menu only in its extension window for browsers.
Looks like I need to first open a browser to generate password. Is it really what you guys want us to do ?

I can't find the password generator either — annoying.

Fortunately, this issue has been taken up in a different thread here, and is supposed to be passed on to the company’s development team.

It would be a surprise if this omission did not get any attention during the beta test process of 1Password 8, though.

Hi @ojix2, thank you for this question. 👋

The password generator is currently located in 1Password for your browser, since our testing so far suggests that that's where people find it most useful. However, we do have a feature request for a password generator in Quick Access, and I'm happy to add a vote on behalf of yourself and @mourogers. Thank you for letting us know that you would appreciate such an inclusion! 🙌

+1 on quick access password generation. Furthermore please note that, 1password browser generated passwords are not synced back to the account; i.e. they are not found in the Passwords or any other category neither in the app nor in 1password web access.

Please put the password generator back where it belongs (right click menu on the taskbar). Passwords (and the generator) are used lot of other places than in the webbrowser!
