Hey there!
As someone who has found 1Password after paying for "that other" manager for many years, the capabilities of the browser extension (Firefox 108.0.2) is very limited.
I love the passp...

3 years agoHi @McJoppy,
Thanks for sharing your use case here. You can access the password generator from the browser extension itself:
From there the Smart Password option will try to offer suggestions that meet those of the current website:
You're spot on that this doesn't always work though as it depends on the websites themselves building these rules into the page. An alternative might be using the "Random Password" type and customizing whether or not you want to include numbers and symbols. Once you're happy with the parameters you've chosen, you can ask the extension to use these to generate any future inline suggestions:
When you're inputting these passwords, you can then regenerate based on these parameters by re-focusing the field or clicking the 1Password icon. Here's an example of how this might look:
I do see your point about sometimes needing the previous password though so I've filed some feedback on your behalf about bringing that directly to the browser extension. Let me know if you give any of the above a try or have any questions! And thanks for the assist, Former Member, much appreciated. 😊
