    Thank you for posting the screenshot and I'm sorry for the confusion. My screenshot was from 1Password in the browser, while it looks like you're using the desktop app. You can find the option to add numbers as separators to a memorable password in the desktop app here: 


    I hope that helps. 🙂

Hello hermani! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! If you're generating passwords for a website then I recommend trying the Smart Password generator, it can detect the password requirements on a website and generate a secure password that meets those requirements, including by adding numbers to the password. You can read more here: A smart(er) password generator | 1Password

You can set smart passwords to be the default in the browser by following these steps:

  1. Open your browser.
  2. Click on the 1Password icon in the toolbar, then click on the menu button (it looks like three lines in a circle).
  3. Click Password Generator.
  4. Set Type to Smart Password.
  5. Turn on "Use as default for suggestions".


Moving forward, 1Password will suggest smart passwords right on the page that will match the website's requirements:

If you're using the 1Password app then you can set the password type to random and toggle numbers on. Or, if you're generating memorable passwords, you can add numbers as the seperator between words. 

I hope that helps.
