Hi finwe, thanks for reaching out!

I understand that you're not able to view the entirety of a long password within the password generator in the 1Password desktop app. I can definitely understand how this could be inconvenient and disruptive to your workflow, and I've gone ahead and filed this with the team on your behalf. While I can't make any promises as to if or when you might see this improved in 1Password, you can keep an eye on future changes in our release notes here: 1Password Releases

In the meantime, it is possible to see the entirety of a generated password within the mobile apps, or when using the 1Password extension. The extension's password generator is located under the ☰ menu to the left of the + New Item button. In cases where you'll be generating a very long password, you may find it helpful to generate it there instead.

If you have any further questions or concerns, let us know 😄
