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

Hi team,
I also have a related feature request. I would LOVE to be able to upload a .CSV of user accounts and URLs, then have 1Password's import tool generate passwords for them at the same time. Alternatively, it would work to be able to generate a quantity of passwords at once from the web generator so I can copy/paste it from the browser into a .CSV sheet column, or export a .CSV to copy/paste to my master file for upload. Generating 1 password at a time for this purpose is not efficient.Context: I'm doing a user account migration where I can't sync our directory over to the new service and have to create a lot of temporary passwords for existing email addresses...while I may not need this functionality often in the future, it would be very handy. It's a bulk upload function that also does not have temporary password generation built in.
In all honesty I could submit this request with the service provider (very commonly used software, trying not to name names but I suspect you may know who I'm referencing) we're migrating these accounts to, but I fully expect it would be more likely to be addressed by your team sooner. Their enhancement decision/release process is pretty slow.

+1 to this request. It will be great a key combination for example CTRL+SHIFT+G (or customizable) to open a Password Generator stand alone window, without browser. I'm working on IT and could be very helpfull with random password creation everyday.

I'll add a +1 to this. Would be great to see this in the main app and in the cli as well

Hey @pandysp,
I'd be happy to pass your request on to the team. Can you describe your workflow to me and why you would find it particularly useful to be able to access the password generator within the apps so I can pass your specific use case on?
Any detail you can provide on that front will add extra weight to your feedback.
Thank you!

Please add a password generator to the macos and ios app. The current workarounds (web-based generator, browser extension generator, create a new login item) are all breaking the flow.

I guess this a feature request.
I also want to generate a new password within the iOS app - without using the web-based password generator
(https://1password.com/password-generator/)Though the web-based generator does work.

We need that permission to perform the following on your behalf.
The ability to scan (read) the page HTML to determine if itβs fillable. This also tells us where/when to inject the inline menu.
The ability to autofill (write) to the site. While performing an autofill, it effectively changes the HTML. When you submit the autofill, it will allow you to authenticate it properly.
This requests are Apples way of ensuring you know what permissions an app/extension has and uses. It's another way they are working to ensure your privacy.
