Hello @redelstein,
I'm sorry to hear of the troubles you are experiencing with 1Password 8. It was re-built from the ground up and not all features are working exactly as they may have in version 7. Feedback like this helps us to understand where improvements can to be made.
You can no longer right click and have the app pull up.
It sounds like you might be referring to the system tray icon here. If this is the case, you can right-click the icon and select open 1Password. If you were referring to a different method can you please elaborate?
You can no longer set the paramaters for the password
If you are referring to the password generator in app, and looking to strengthen an existing password, this can be found by editing an item > selecting the password field > Create a New Password.
When looking to create a custom password, the generator can be located in 1Password in the browser: Create a custom password
the chrome extension only works part of the time.
Could you please let us know more about the troubles you are experiencing with 1Password in the browser? For example, are you having troubles filling on certain pages? Any examples you can provide will help us to understand.
Looking forward to your reply.
