Hello ag_timothy,
This could be a workflow scenario that I'm used to with LastPass and I need to get used to how it is done using 1Password.
It is like one of those chicken and egg things- which comes first. Let's say I'm a new user to my fitness pal and download the app. The next step is to create an account. At this point, I need my credentials which is usually my email and password. But, I don't have a password yet so in lastpass, I would toggle over to the last pass app and generate a password (without creating a new login item). I would then take this password and copy it into myfitnesspal app and then create the item in lastpass after.
I've since learned that I can create a new item in 1Password and during that process I can generate a new password. I didn't have that option in LastPass. So, I may be okay with this workflow after all.
I will say, though, there are some times where being able to generate a password for sites you visit and don't care if you remember the credentials. There are those coupon sites, newspaper sites, etc where they ask you to create an account so I give them a duck.com email address and a bogus password. Having this utility in 1Password makes it just a little bit easier to get through this exercise.
