Password Generator is missing in Quick Access of 1Password 8

Yes, a very convenient password generation and storage was one of the 1Password extremely convenient features. I even created account to add the +1 comment (:

Out of curiousity, why was the password generator removed from 1Password 8?
I also use it for generating passwords for use outside 1password eg. resetting AD users passwords or creating service account passwords.

Thank you for sharing your use case, I've passed along your comment to our product team so that they're aware of how a standalone password generator feature would be useful for you. 🙂

I appreciate that feature, and I do use it, but in our workflow, we need to generate several passwords and have a separate methodology for sharing the initial account details that we send. Therefore, I need some way to generate passwords. If 1P8 doesn't have the ability to do this without saving the password, I'll have to use some other means, otherwise my vaults will be inundated with passwords with no idea to what they might refer.

Ideally, and perhaps it exists, but using the API might be a way to do this, but then again, I could just use diceware or similar.

I've added your vote to the feature request. 🙂

Additinally, I often use password generation (in 1P7) to create passwords that I don't save for myself but instead for accounts or other things for others, and thus I would like the feature to return without the requirement that every password be saved.

Even if you're generating a password for someone else I would still recommend saving that password so that you can then share it securely with the other person: Securely share 1Password items with anyone

I haven't posted my vote for this one yet, so pls att my +1.

@dbaresrc - thank you for the vote! It has now been filed. 👍

I just click on the little side menu and get to the whole 1PW list at the right spot. But it is clunky and doesn't autofill the same way

+1 as well for this
