The Smart Password Generator in 1Password for your browser attempts to use a website's guidelines to generate an appropriate password, but that doesn't work for all websites. In these cases, you can adjust the parameters on the fly with the password generator in your browser by switching the type to Random Password as you mentioned. While adjusting the parameters, you can set Random Password as the default for suggestions to prevent it from going back to Smart Password afterwards.
Regarding the password generator in 1Password 8 for Windows (desktop app), the password generator is not accessible from the system tray in. Instead, it's now available through editing or creating an item.
With that said, we currently have an internal request opened to add the password generator to the system tray and Quick Access. I'll be sure to add your voice to show our developers that there is interest in this feature. Thanks!
