Dave, I'll chime in albeit late. While I can't name specific instances, a user may want/need to generate a password outside of the built-in "create/update-and-save-a-login" workflow of 1Password. Perhaps the most frequent of these is when 1Password does not recognize the website and enter that workflow yet the user wants to establish new credentials there. I recall that I've also encountered password reset pages where 1Password doesn't enter the standard create/update workflow (possibly because the new password field is the only field on the page or it opens in a new browser window and is not seen by 1Password?) Maybe this preference of the OP and me represents the .01% of the user base, but I agree with the OP that it seems not to be industry standard when looking at other password managers. (I come from Roboform, where a password generator was always available directly.)
