Password Generator questions

Can't agree more with the other users' comments above. We don't want to have to open a browser and browser plugin to simply generate passwords. This just makes things harder, less intuitive and less useful.

I'm currently on 1Password for Windows 8.8.0 (80800156, on BETA channel) and still don't see an option to access the password generator from the tray icon. There is an option in Settings to "Show a menu" when you click the icon in the tray, but doesn't do anything when I select it and then click the icon. Don't know what the deal is with that option.

Unless I've missed it, we don't have the password generator in the tray yet. If I missed it, apologies in advance.

I'm can't continue to silently simmer in the background here, waiting for the password generator's return to the tray icon in Windows, while seeing all this silly window dressing and non-functional or obscure items being delivered, release after release. I agree that 1Password is on a downward slope here when it comes to functionality, usability and workflow. If you continue to prioritize bells and whistles over core functionality, your real users will eventually abandon you in favour of the competition. Perhaps you have enough "consumer-orientated" users who are in love with themes, icons, avatars, jingles, menu animations, etc. to entertain them, but I expected that people who commit to use tools such as 1Password are the ones who are serious about their privacy and IT. We require serious commitment from 1Password to our privacy and passwords, hence the reason we decided to put money down and sign up. We are not interested in commitment to childish menu animations, themes and such, but rather commitment to help secure our privacy, like putting the password generator within easy reach. But, it's just votes at the moment, no promises or commitments and sounds like it may never happen.

If you have trouble understanding what irks me above, here are some examples from recent releases that in my opinion should have been lower priority compared to returning the password generator to the tray icon:

• We’ve optimized and restored the menu animations to the app
• The “delete share link” icon now has a tooltip on hover
• You can now open Settings using the 1Password icon in the notification area
• We’ve fixed an issue that could cause the title bar of the app to shift out of view when changing the icon for a vault
• When you share an item, the icon will now be displayed clearly
• We’ve updated the title of the language selector in settings
• If collapsed, vaults and tags in the sidebar will temporarily expand if you drag an item over them
• We’ve fixed an issue where the checkmark wouldn’t be positioned correctly when changing a vault’s icon
• We’ve fixed an issue that could cause the text in longer account names to overflow in the sidebar
• We’ve fixed an issue where the delete button wouldn’t fill the full height in a multi-line field when editing an item
• We’ve fixed an issue that could cause extra spacing to appear when turning on “Show debugging tools” in Advanced preferences

Catch my drift?

Don't bother adding another vote to the request. My pet peeve seems to be just a drop in the bucket compare to all the "consumer-orientated" features requested by others.

Thanks for reading this far.
