Hi there!

It won't cover what I'm looking for. Many of our users are averse to passwords that appear impossible to remember. I want our defaults to be the following, but can't find a way to automate setting them via MDM or script. Can you assist?

  "passwordGenerator.type": "password-generator-menu-entry-type-memorable-password",
  "passwordGenerator.separatorType": "password-generator-menu-entry-separator-numbers-and-symbols",
  "passwordGenerator.capitalize": true,
  "passwordGenerator.size.words": 3,

Hi furman​, thanks for your question.

There isn't an option to deploy the 1Password extension with specific password generator option defaults. In this case, the best option might be to guide users on selecting preferred or recommended password settings. 

That could look something like this:

  1. Open 1Password in the Browser.
  2. Click the Menu button (☰).
  3. Select Password Generator.
  4. From Type, select Memorable Password
  5. Set Words to 3, Separator to Numbers and Symbols, and Capitalize on.
  6. Turn Use as default for suggestions on.

 

While I can't make any promises as to if or when such a feature might be added, I'd be happy to share your interest in options for changing default password settings with the team. And if we can help with anything, just let the team know!

    To be clear, this isn’t an extension-specific feature request. I’d like these defaults to apply to the 1Password desktop app.

    Unfortunately, guiding every user through a setup process goes against basic principles of mass-deployment. Is there any chance of prioritizing this and other business-oriented feature requests?

      Thanks for the reply. You wrote:

      Out of curiosity, is there a reason why your users would like to memorize their passwords? One of the benefits of using a password manager like 1Password is that you don't need to memorize anything other than the "one password" that unlocks 1Password. 

      Is there any chance of prioritizing this and other business-oriented feature requests?

      Your feedback has been passed along to our Product team for consideration. If you have a 1Password Business account then I recommend reaching out to your Customer Success Manager (CSM) so that they're aware of your needs as well.
