Hello!
I have just updated to 1Password 8 and I am very happy about it :)

3 years agoI would love this feature to be brought back too. 1P_Dave if you want a use case, I used to use it to generate passwords (i) outside of the browser (e.g. Terminal); (ii) on websites or other situations where the 'please provide a password' interface doesn't work nicely with 1Password (e.g. maybe you're typing with an onscreen keyboard rather than inputting text into a field); or (iii) where the password is subject to length, character etc requirements (I used to use the sliders in the password generator, but it is also especially useful where a 'special character' is required but there's a limited list of special characters -- far easier to generate a long password, modify a couple of special characters to be acceptable ones, submit it to the website and then have 1Password prompt me to save/update it). Maybe there is a slightly faster way to do what I need to do, but this works fine for me, so just give me the option. I'm not asking that everyone be forced to do it my way.
