Password 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

    Losing this is a step backwards. Please bring it back.

    Yes, you now have to go through five steps to generate a password, whereas it used to take only two. Definitely a step back in an otherwise excellent app.

    Its actually even worse. if you enable quick access on toolbar icon. its pretty complicated to add new item, not to speak of the missing password generator. That one should be priority accessible from icon/context menu as well.
