4 years agoIs the stand alone password generator gone form the 1password8 Beta?
I used this feature a lot when generating database and server passwords. Is it gone? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

The main application still has a password generator but not a QR code scanner. For me those two belong together.
The new password generator in the main application suffers badly from some strange design decisions and electron.
After electing "New Object" -> "Password" a modal dialog opens up - for macOS users once again a punch in the face seeing the closing "X" top right instead of a red circle top left.
You click into the password field to get a pop up menu with just one option:
Why do I have to do this additional click if the menu has only one option?
The password generator opens - quite similar to the one of 1PW7. Once again an electron limitation strikes here. Because the whole dialog is to small and its size can't be changed you have to scroll in order to see all options.
