Feature request - A tool to just generate passwords
Sometimes we want a tool to generate random passwords to put in into any other place like AWS tools, Hashicorp Vault, etc. I believe it'd be great to have a button to generate a random password rather than have to create on the Add New Item button, choose the type, generate a random pass and then discard it. It'd be quicker.
BTW.: The interface usability of this forum could be increased, it was terrible to find out how to post this message.

Hi @jefoso, thanks for getting back to me! I'm glad to hear that JohnInCA's suggestion helped.
I can definitely understand how having an item-independent password generator within the desktop app could be more streamlined and intuitive. I've filed a feature request on your behalf with our product team, including all of the details you've provided here.
If you have any further feedback or questions, let me know! 😄

Yeah, it can help but having it in the main tool would be preferable because, in my case, my first action, when I need something regarding to passwords, is to open up the desktop app. I believe that's my first action because since the beginning the desktop app was more complete than the chrome extension so I only use the extension when 1Pass doesn't fill in the user and pass in an website.
Thanks.
Not all passwords are browser related. I would really like to generate passwords without having to start the browser.
Click the 1Password icon in your browser. Then click the Menu and select Password Generator.
