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

- SimmonsMDNew ContributorSwitched to 1Password several months ago. My previous password manager had a handy drop-down menu in the system toolbar that included a password generator. I'd love to have that feature on 1Password. I realize 1Password has a different work flow, and perhaps with time I'll get used to it. But as of now, I often find myself hunting around for a minute or two until I finally stumble upon 1Password's (deeply buried) password generator. Thank you! 
- glyphNew ContributorI just spent about 15 minutes poking around the quick access UI because it didn't even occur to me that it might have been removed. Please bring it back! 
- TilRoquetteOccasional Contributor+1 - definitely!

- Former Member+1 vote to bring back the generator. After 1PW 7 already messing up the generator UX compared to version 6, 1PW 8 now completely fucks it up - what did the 1PW product management smoke to remove such an essential feature? ;-) 
- Former MemberSame here, 
 I use it all the time to generate passwords for my websites and databases.
 So +1 for sure
- Former MemberCan we get badges for most issues reported? Or perhaps see which missing features got how many votes? lol i bet we can identify the pain points for most users that havent been fixed yet 
- WestWOccasional Contributor++1 vote to add back the generator. Yet another feature that has been lost after upgrading to 1PW8. Sigh.... 
- DavidBDedicated ContributorApart from creating new items, is there a separate password generator in the Mac app? This was discussed here:

- Former MemberP.S. Apart from creating new items, is there a separate password generator in the Mac app? Can't find it but it must be there somewhere, surely. Thanks
