    Hi folks,

    Thanks for your messages and the help from @anthonygaliamov with generating passwords through the app and creating a new item, followed by selecting the password field. Those details can be found in our guide to change your password in the 1Password apps

    To expand on the reply from Former Member, details about the password generator in 1Password in the browser, can be found in this guide: Create a custom password

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

    In the browser plugin, click on the menu button located between the search field and the "+ new object" button, and there you will find the password generator.

    Unfortunately at the moment you have to open the 1Password app on desktop and edit the login details manually - generating the password that meets the criteria there.
    It would be really awesome if you could access the password generator in the browser and generate a new password there that meets the criteria - this one here:

    Hopefully in one of the future releases as an enhancement.
