4 years agoPassword generator in 1Password 8 Quick Access
Hello!
I have just updated to 1Password 8 and I am very happy about it :)
One small annoyance I found is the missing password generator -- previously I could click on the menubar icon and there ...

4 years agoYou can create a Login just before you're about to use it for the first time (either at sign-up in an app or if it wasn't in 1Password before). Here's what to do:
- Tap the "🔑 Passwords" icon near the top of the keyboard or at the bottom of the screen to bring up the autofill pop-up, even though you know you don't have a suitable item there just yet.
- Tap the + button, then enter a username.
- Tap the password field and enter your password. To generate a password, tap "Create a New Password" and adjust the settings, then tap Use.
- Tap Save & Fill when you’re finished.
The item will be saved and then immediately autofilled into the app you're using. As a rule of thumb, you can always tap the "🔑 Passwords" button on the keyboard whether or not you know if you have a suitable item already saved in 1Password. If you don't have one, you can make it from there without leaving the app in question.
Hope that helps!
