Feature Request: Password Generator History on Desktop App
Hello
The 1Password browser extension has a button to view the password generator history so you can potentially recover unsaved passwords. I use it quite frequently. To my surprise, I can't seem to find this same functionality within the desktop app on Windows, even though desktop apps are usually more feature-rich than their counterpart extensions. I'm not sure whether it's different on other OS'es
As such, I would like to request the same password generator history functionality be added to the Windows desktop app. It's of course only a minor inconvenience but I often add new logins in the desktop app, since it has built-in editing capabilities and so it would be handy to have the same password generator history there, so I don't need to switch contexts to recover an unsaved password
Thank you!

Hi BlueBull, welcome to the Community!
I can definitely understand how adding the extension's password generator history functionality to the desktop app as well could be useful when trying to retrieve a generated password that wasn't saved. I've passed this along to our Product team in the form of a feature request.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Near the bottom of an entry there is a history you can unfold. That shows everything both in the desktop and mobile apps. But solid point to question why one offers it as a side effect of the password and theoretisch doesn’t :)
Indeed, I know about that one. But I'm talking about the password generator history in the extension which shows passwords that were generated but never saved in an item, as well as passwords that were generated and saved. That functionality is only present in the extension as far as I can tell. You can access it by clicking on the key icon near the top right corner of the extension pop-out and then choosing "password generator history". A password that was generated but never saved will also show a URL of the webpage that was active at the moment the password was generated, just like those that were generated and saved, which is mighty useful
