Password Generation

Is there a way to generate a new password without starting the process of creating a new login?

    Ive already uninstalled but in safari when i opened 1p extension it asked for permission to access browsing history and more for specific site(s). With options to allow for x time, always, deny and something more.

    +1 to feature request.

    I decided to give v8 one more try and was quite disappointed that this simple feature (as it was in v7) is still not implemented in macos v8.

    1P in the browser is constantly asking for access (why?) and it is not convenient to open browser every time i need to generate new password.

    :(

    Hi Support,

    Feature Request:

    Im also wishing there was a standalone password generator.
    (I usually use the mac app).

    Im a developer and generate passwords a lot. Most i don't need to save in my 1Password account.
    Or if i do they end up in a 1Password notes file temporarily.

    I still use the LastPass password generator (https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator) because it lets me customise the length, and turn symbols on and off. The length field is very useful

    I would rather use your app.
    I've recently moved from LastPass and this is the only feature I have found that seems to be missing

    Thanks

    It would be nice to have a separate password generator in the app. This is useful for command line work and encrypting zip files etc... Where you won't be keeping the password for yourself.

  • Hello @mcewanbr! 👋

    1Password in the browser has a standalone password generator: Create a custom password

    But, generally, the idea is that you'll save all of your passwords in 1Password so the workflow in the 1Password for Mac app incorporates both the generation of passwords and the saving of them so that you don't have to do both steps separately with the insecurity of a middle-step of copying generated passwords to your clipboard just so that you can paste them back into 1Password.

    I hope that helps. 🙂
