4 years agoHello again nukmicah,
Thanks for your reply. Any kind of manual edit to password will reduce the strength of the password. Even adding characters to a generated password changes it from a generated password and will reduce the strength.
When generating a password in 1Password 8 (without making any edits), you are still getting Good passwords instead of Fantastic when the strength meter is full? If so, can you send an email to support+windows@1Password.com with the JSON from an example item? Please do not post these details in the forums:
- Open the 1Password app, open the Settings/Preferences panel, and switch to the Advanced tab.
- Enable
Show Debugging tools
, then close the Settings/Preferences window. - Navigate to the example item, click the overflow menu (three dots) in the top-right corner of the entry window, and click Copy item JSON.
- Paste the contents of your clipboard into a text document.
- Go through the pasted output, and replace your actual username, password, and any previously-used passwords with
Username, Password, or Old-password
. - Save the text document, review it one more time to ensure no sensitive information is still stored there, and then attach it to your email.
