Thanks for posting the text. You can generate a password using the 1Password for Mac desktop app by following these steps:
- Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
- Click + New Item and then click Password.
- Click the password field and then click Create a New Password.
- Use the password generator to choose your options and then save the password and item:
The password generator includes options for toggling numbers and symbols. Make sure that you're using the "Random Password" type.I understand that you'd like to see a password generator option in the menu bar, that isn't an option in the current version of 1Password but I can certainly file a feature request on your behalf. Can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to generate a password from the menu bar? And are you generating passwords for a website? Or for something else?

I know how to do that. I believe I have mentioned it in a past post. I posted that it is inconvenient to do it that way, so I asked if it was possible to use one-touch. I used to be able to do it, and if it's such a great feature that 1password offers a password generator on their website, I think it's a good idea to let the one-touch charged users use it.

I couldn't post the text because it threw up an error no matter how I tried, so I had no choice but to use an image.
