Password Generator is limited to 50 characters [1Password in the Browser, not 1Password 8]
1Password 8 is limiting newly generated passwords to 50 characters, but 1Password 7 allowed for up to 100 characters. This seems like a downgrade to me. I hope this will be changed back to 100 cha...

@ag_ana Ok, but we're not talking about the 1password.com website, though I agree that's inconsistent with both 50 and 100 so should be changed to match.
I guess it's unclear if this is a "bug" or a specific change that was made, I'll leave that up to you, but I just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page. Let me try again.
The OP noted that in the 1Password 7 browser extension, the password generator allowed for 100 character passwords:
But with the 1Password 8 browser extension, the password generator only goes up to 50 character passwords:
As I noted, the issue seems to be the slider in 7 goes to 100 but in 8 stops at 50. It is possible to select the number value 50 and type in 100 and the v8 extension is happy to create the longer length password:
You noted that in the 1Password 8 app, as 7 before (w/ slightly different UI), has a slider that goes to 100 too:
So my guess is that the v8 extension's slider limit of 50 is a bug/unintended change, given that v7 extension+app and the v8 app have it as 100.
