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 characters in future updates.


1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.2.0-56.BETA 80200056, on BETA
Extension Version: 2.0.6
OS Version: macOS 11.5.2

    @eishapiro Let's turn it around -- how are you getting to the password generator? If I generate a password in v8 (Mac and Windows) it has a 100 char limit. There's nothing special to it, eg 1PW > New Item > Password > Create a New Password > Make sure it's type "Random Password" > Slide "Characters" (aka length) to 100. Looking at your screenshot, I've never seen "Use as default for suggestions" or "Generator History" so I have no idea how you get to where you get to.

    Does anyone know how to get to the screenshot that ag_ana showed me in the previous post? I have the option to create a random password of only 50 characters and not 100 as she shows in her post. Anybody know hot get to 100 characters in 1Password 8?

    HI ag_ana,

    Your screenshot does not match mine! How do I get to where you are?

    @eishapiro, @alexclst:

    Thank you for the feedback! In the latest 1Password for Mac beta, I can still go up to 100 characters in the password generator:

    I want to add my vote for this. I regularly generate passwords as long as I can, and 50 characters feels short now. Seems odd that this kind of regression would be meant to stay for a password manager app.
