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 will be a big button to generate a new password, but now it's gone. Is there a plan to bring it back?
We have this button in the Chrome extension...
But where is it in the macOS app?
1Password Version: 8.7
Extension Version: -
OS Version: macOS 11.6.5

I appreciate the feedback and have added proxy votes for each of you, thanks for taking the time to explain why this is an important feature to you. π

Apparently I haven't added my +1 to this topic yet. Please also add ability to NOT save the password in 1Password - I often use(d) this for generating random passwords for other automated temporary password facilities, for which I do not need nor want the generated password saved at all.

Hi 1 password team: +1 for bringing back the password generator quick access.
It's a big ux loss. - Former Member
How about considering this a bug... The feature was there in 1password7 (at least!) and I used it a lot! When creating accounts it kind of is totally normal to be able to do this fast and in quick access (which was fantastic in 1password7). Not having this is imho not a feature request but rather a bug! (if this helps with priority)

I don't care if it's exactly where it was, but the current process to create a new password is a real pain. Make it simpler (like, or similar to how it was easy to do before) please.
