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 ?

+1 - Really? Is this how 1Password does user experience research to guide design and development? There are much better ways. https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/ux-research

I just click on the little side menu and get to the whole 1PW list at the right spot. But it is clunky and doesn't autofill the same way

I haven't posted my vote for this one yet, so pls att my +1.

Additinally, I often use password generation (in 1P7) to create passwords that I don't save for myself but instead for accounts or other things for others, and thus I would like the feature to return without the requirement that every password be saved.

Even if you're generating a password for someone else I would still recommend saving that password so that you can then share it securely with the other person: Securely share 1Password items with anyone

I appreciate that feature, and I do use it, but in our workflow, we need to generate several passwords and have a separate methodology for sharing the initial account details that we send. Therefore, I need some way to generate passwords. If 1P8 doesn't have the ability to do this without saving the password, I'll have to use some other means, otherwise my vaults will be inundated with passwords with no idea to what they might refer.

Ideally, and perhaps it exists, but using the API might be a way to do this, but then again, I could just use diceware or similar.

Thank you for sharing your use case, I've passed along your comment to our product team so that they're aware of how a standalone password generator feature would be useful for you. 🙂
