I've recorded a GIF of how to do this. Try following along and see how things go. Here are the steps again:
- Click "+ New Item", and choose "Password" from the item catalog.
- Click the Password field, then "🔑 Create a New Password". (Adjust the settings for the password generator if you like.)
- Click Use, then Save.
Give that a go – I look forward to hearing how you get on.

Thank you. I'm on the app (8.9.4)- I already did that before- trying again. DOn't see what you are showing above. Not allowing me send image/screen shot - when I hit the icon above the straight black line outlining this text arrows up - but nothing else happens.

When I hit +new item/ then Password - it opens to setting up a new password for a website.

I'm glad to hear you could find it – you'll need to click "Generate a New Password" in the Password field for the generator to appear, but it sounds like you've got that now. :)

In 1Password for Mac, click "+ New Item", then Password. In the
passwordfield, click "Generate a New Password". The password generator will appear and you can change its recipe there: - Former Member
I'm guessing generating Password works from the browser extension. Since mine is still not working - I answered prior info in another string about this - is there a way to access the Password Generator from the app on Mac? thank you

Hey @ccgreen,
Here are the steps to access the password generator:
- Click on the 1Password icon in your Chrome browser toolbar and sign in.
- Click the round menu icon next to the search bar and choose Password Generator.
Within here you can also create your specifications for password type and length.
I hope this helps!
