Password Generator is missing in Quick Access of 1Password 8

I have upgraded to 1Password 8, and found Password Generator is now missing in its Quick Access window. Any reason for that ?

I found the menu only in its extension window for browsers.
Looks like I need to first open a browser to generate password. Is it really what you guys want us to do ?

    +1 - Really? Is this how 1Password does user experience research to guide design and development? There are much better ways. https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/ux-research

    Please put the password generator back where it belongs (right click menu on the taskbar). Passwords (and the generator) are used lot of other places than in the webbrowser!

    +1 on quick access password generation. Furthermore please note that, 1password browser generated passwords are not synced back to the account; i.e. they are not found in the Passwords or any other category neither in the app nor in 1password web access.

    Hi @ojix2, thank you for this question. 👋

    The password generator is currently located in 1Password for your browser, since our testing so far suggests that that's where people find it most useful. However, we do have a feature request for a password generator in Quick Access, and I'm happy to add a vote on behalf of yourself and @mourogers. Thank you for letting us know that you would appreciate such an inclusion! 🙌
