Password generator defaults and features

Hi there, I've recently switch to one password as my main password manager, I really appreciate the features and the cleanliness of 1password. I'd love to see improvement in the password generator...

Hey @CapableClatter, thanks for reaching out.

It sounds like you're referring to the password generator in 1Password in your browser. If that's the case, you can adjust the parameters on the fly:

  1. Click on the 1Password extension icon in your browser.
  2. Click on the Password Generator (Key Icon).
  3. Change the Type from Smart Password to Random Password.
  4. Adjust the password parameters to suit your needs.

If you'd prefer, you can set the Random Password as the default for suggestions.

As for more advanced options such as excluding characters, we currently have an internal feature request where I'll be sure to share your comment to see if this is something that can be implemented in a future version of 1Password. Thanks again for your feedback, it's greatly appreciated!
