Password generator in 1Password 8 Quick Access

My colleagues and I have forwarded all of your requests to add a password generator to either Quick Access or the menubar icon to our product team. The team pays close attention to features that are requested by folks and considers all options on how best to build a tool that works for everyone's workflow. Thank you for all of your suggestions and feedback.

I'm closing this thread since it's veering off-topic from the OP's original suggestion. The thread is also rather old now and I'd like to save folks from receiving notifications on each new comment. If anyone else would like to voice their request for this feature then please create a new thread. 🙂

Not sure why developers ignoring so many requests from user community. You are not the only product on the market.

Please add me as another Mac user that does not understand why a handy feature in 1PW7 was removed in 8 and now we have to ask for it back. Now that you've heard four pages of feedback, how about bumping this up on the JIRA backlog. :D

The password generator was one of the most common features of 1Password that I would use and I can't believe this most basic functionality was removed with 1PW8. This is enough for me to seriously consider another password manager, virtually all of which offer this capability.

I do not always want to generate a password for a web site, so the new standalone browser extension is of no use to me.

I just want the ability to simply and quickly generate a password. I don't need to always create an actual new item.

I won't even comment on the so-called "smart password" feature. Please stop trying to force me to follow your pre-determined constraints and allow me to make my own decisions. 1PW8 is so much more difficult to use that I am moving back to 1PW7 while I consider my future with 1PW. I definitely do not like the direction 1PW is going.

I, too would like the Password Generator back in the menu bar.

Exactly!

+1 on this
if I understand correctly, the idea is that, when creating a new account, 1password will suggest a password automatically; the problem is, there's no way to trigger that action if it doesn't trigger itself (and it often doesn't) and there's no way to change details about the password (like adding digits, or removing certain characters)

I see this thread was started in May and yet here we are in February with the feature still missing, even though it's clear that many people want it returned.

I've been using 1password 8 for less than 48 hours and I've found enough deficiencies compared to 1password 7 that I'm seriously considering going back. Why should I have to pay for an inferior product that has disrupted my workflow?

It's really annoying when you have to do three-four clicks for a simple password generation! Bring back the easy password generation !!!!

Really want to see password creation back in Quick Access! Now I have to open the desktop app, create a login, copy and paste it and then create my account to continue. And it doesn't remember the App context or URL... Really a step back from how it was before!

It seems simple enough to add a Drop Down menu item to Quick Access to "Create New Login"
