Feature Request: Generate random passwords with CLI via dedicated command (e.g. `op generate`)

+1, FTR ChatGPT lied and said it existed already :)
op generate password 20 --require-uppercase --require-lowercase --require-digits --require-symbols

More temporary but if you are familiar with jq https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/

op item create \
--dry-run \
--category Password \
--generate-password='letters,digits,symbols,32' \
--format json \
| jq -r '.fields[] | select(.id == "password").value'


Example use case:
Take the temporary generated password and use it to override a database (non password/login item) password

PASS=$(op item create \
--dry-run \
--category Password \
--generate-password='letters,digits,symbols,32' \
--format json \
| jq -r '.fields[] | select(.id == "password").value');
op item get "EXISTING DATABASE ITEM" --format json \
| op item create \
--vault "VAULT" \
--title "NEW NAME" \
- 'username=USER' 'database=DB' "password=${PASS}"


Ah TIL about the --dry-run flag, thanks for that tip!

Using your snippet as a base, I came up with a bash alias for this:

```
genpass() {
CHARS=${1:-32}

ITEM=$(op item create \
--dry-run \
--category Password \
--generate-password="letters,digits,symbols,$CHARS" \
--format json)

PASS=$(echo "$ITEM" | jq -r '.fields[] | select(.id == "password").value')

echo "$PASS"
}
```

That could all be one or two lines but I split it up for ease-of-use. 😅

Usage:
```
❯ genpass
7FwhRY.Zp.BVWxUrqUxKPEQQx-u!PKa.

❯ genpass 5
n3F-L

❯ genpass 64
ngtstGwJ3KmJQ2fJ-MkVkCPNNCqHXt_k-j3szo4KvVeFHVi*J*P*b2xVxpdRWRA8
```

Much easier to read like that, thanks for riffing off it 😀

Hey all, we do have ongoing work for making this feature possible. Here is what it could like:


op item edit --generate "My Field"
op item edit --generate "My Field=20,letters,numbers"
op item edit --generate "My Field[text]=20,letters,numbers"


No ETA for when this will be available though, but in the meantime, let us know what feedback you have about the design.

@andi.t_1P that could help a bit for my use case, yeah! Although having a dedicated generate command could also have some nice use-cases. Thanks for sharing what you're up to.

If you have any specific use cases that this really doesn't solve, please feel free to let us know :)

I think the other use case is to create a temporary password, maybe for a hash salt or something where we don't store it in 1Password after it's generated

Hi @ubcpittet,

That's currently possible, actually! op item create --category password --generate-password --dry-run --format json | jq -r '.fields[0].value'

Cheers!
