3 years agoPassword 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 ?

I do not see that screen or the three lines (2) anywhere! Neither when I open Quick Access, nor when I open the 1password app. How do I get to it. But really, you should offer the password generator in the menu bar drop down. It is so useful.
How do I return to 1Password 7? Version 8 is too confusing and non-intuitive.

Hi @mriner,
The password generator can be found in the ≡ menu:
That said, I appreciate the feedback and have added proxy votes on behalf of yourself and @rllewis for this. Thanks!

I completely agree. Generator should be easily accessible on Mac and mobile versions. Step backwards.

As I mentioned, the password generator only shows up in the extension button when you are on a web log in page.

Hi roeckler / @mriner:
The password generator in 1Password for Safari can be found under the ≡ menu. From there, you can access the password generator, as well as configure the default options. By default, 1Password in the browser will use a Smart Password, which we've found will work in most places, you can switch it to a Random Password which offers the ability to change the length.
@nicopra / @xmarcelo:
I've added you both to the discussion Tommy mentioned above. Thanks!

Having the same problem not seeing the option for the password generator in the safari extension bar (pic) - I thought this might be a safari tech preview issue but getting same prob in Safari. I'm on latest Ventura beta.
I miss the ability to control the length of the password as 1P is generating passwords too long for most of my uses and can't seem to figure out how to alter the generation characteristics without the plugin on 1P8 ?
Otherwise, have loved the product for many years... even though I just got around to signing up for the forum. Thanks for any help or advice for this issue,

Clicking on the 1password extension button in Safari does NOT offer a password generator!!!!
