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 ?

Yet another step backwards in v8. Changing things just to change them. The generator used to be one click away in the Quick Access menu. Now it is 3 clicks away in the browser menu. And I had to google how to find it because I thought it was removed completely. How is that helpful?? Bring it back to the Quick Access menu please. I used to use it to generate passwords for other things, not just ot use in 1Password. It was very helpful to have it in the top menu on the Mac.

+1 for the Password Generator to be restored to the Quick Access panel AND the 1Password 8 app itself!

Yes, repeating the same phrase that others have used but I too would like this, as would my wife (so maybe that's +2 for me!)

+1 vote for the password generator to be available in iOS and Mac Apps. As a new user I really struggled to find the password generator.

+1 for an easiliy available password generator in QuickAcces and the main application. I almost never generate a password directly within the browser.

Just found an awesome app/utility that does what we want until 1Password gets its act together. It's call PSWD:password generator. Works on Mac OS and iOS. Menubar control, if you want it. FREE!
