Use Suggested Password

Hi @beno44!

Every password generated by the 1Password extension that you end up using is stored in the Generator History section of the extension ;) Here is a screenshot for you:

Tks ag_ana, don't seem to have this on my extension

@beno44:

Thank you for the screenshot! I see that you are using the old classic extension instead of the new one from my screenshot. However, only the new extension has the "Use suggested password" popup, so is it possible you might actually have both installed?

If you could tell us what version of the extension you have installed in your browser, and what browser you are using, we can then send you the correct suggestion :+1:

Using Safari 14.1.2 and 1Password 7
Version 7.8.6 (70806001)
1Password Store

Not sure how to check the extension version.

I also have another issue, Chrome opens 1 password but it shows no passwords. Something not right there either ;o)

@beno44:

Thank you for the details!

Using Safari 14.1.2 and 1Password 7

The Safari extension of 1Password 7 indeed works a bit differently, so this explains the different: in this case, every password generated by the 1Password Safari extension will be saved inside 1Password itself, under the Passwords category :+1:

I also have another issue, Chrome opens 1 password but it shows no passwords. Something not right there either ;o)

Can you post a screenshot of the empty list that you see in Chrome?

Think I found the problem but not sure how to solve it. On my account I have a personal vault (which I don't use at all) as well as a "Primary" account that is shared via iCloud. The chrome extension sees my personal account but not my Primary account. Safari sees both.

Also re the Safari extension, I can't see where the "Password" category can be found

Tks

I think this is indeed the problem. If you have a Primary vault in your 1Password app, you will need to install the classic extension in Chrome:

It sounds like you are using the new 1Password in the browser extension in Chrome, which only sees vaults stored on 1Password.com (in this case, your Personal one). Since the Primary vault is stored outside of your 1Password account, you will need the classic extension to see that one too :+1:

Also re the Safari extension, I can't see where the "Password" category can be found

To do this in the extension itself, you can click on the "Suggestions" dropdown menu below the search field in the extension, and select the Passwords category:

You can also do this directly in the 1Password for Mac app, by clicking on the Passwords category in the sidebar of the app:

Is there any logic keeping my vault on iCloud rather than on my personal one?

@beno44:

Our recommendation, if you have a 1Password.com account, is to just use the vaults in your 1Password account, and remove the ones stored in iCloud. This is so you don't have to deal with multiple sync methods and multiple vaults, and as you can see it also makes your life with the browser extension easier since everything is in one place :)

This documentation page shows you the process:
