Bring Back the Standalone Password Generator in Android – Not Just Hidden in Login Creation

Hello 1Password team and fellow users,

I'd like to revisit a long-standing feature request that I’ve found repeated in several older threads — but never fully addressed: the ability to use the password generator independently in the Android app, without being forced to create a new login item first.

I’ve seen past posts where this was requested , and most responses follow a pattern:

1. Users didn’t realize the password generator appears during login creation.
2. A moderator kindly explains how to trigger it by creating a new item.
3. The user says thanks, and the thread ends.

However, that’s not the whole story.
Many of us — myself included — already know this workaround. But the problem isn’t ignorance — it’s that it’s a poor user experience.
In real-world usage, we often encounter modern and fragmented sign-up processes:

• Email-first → verify → redirected to create password
• SMS-based onboarding → password setup comes much later
• Multi-step captchas, in-app flows, or jumping between tabs or apps

These flows don’t align neatly with creating a login item upfront. We often need a password generator midway through a process, without any context where a login makes sense yet. And faking a dummy item just to access the generator feels like a workaround that no longer fits the sophistication of 1Password’s overall design.

Yes, there are third-party password generators online — but I’ve come to really trust and rely on 1Password’s generator and its history tracking, like in the browser extension. It’s streamlined, consistent, and secure — everything a good UX should be.

All I’m asking is for 1Password to bring that same level of elegance and independence to the Android app. A standalone generator (like on desktop and browser) would make the mobile experience complete — and remove a daily point of friction for many loyal users.

What do you think?
Have you run into similar situations where the current flow just doesn't work well?
Would a dedicated password generator make your Android experience smoother?

Let’s hear your thoughts — I’d love to know how widespread this frustration is, and whether others would support this idea as well.
