Stand Alone Password Generator In App?
I just started using 1P again
In old versions, a password generator allowed you to copy that to your clipboard.
Is that no longer available in the apps as a stand-alone feature?
Yes, I know ho...

Is there a particular reason why you'd want to generate a password but not save it in 1Password?
Yes! In every similar post like this you ask this same question! Lots of people want this feature! It is a feature you had before and took away! Why is that so hard to understand?! You are allowed to add a feature without having to understand every use-case for that feature!
Sometimes I need to generate a password to save in a different system. Sometimes I need to generate a password for someone else that they will save in their own system. Sometimes I want to generate a password and I feel like writing it down. Sometimes I need to generate a temporary password.
I used to be able to do this by just clicking the 1Password mini icon in my menubar.
Now I have to go to your browser extension or create an entirely new login in the 1Password app. This is not as easy!
Why is it so hard to add a generate password item to the menubar icon?! Why do you fight so hard against this in every post?!
I have added a link to bitwarden's password generator in my dock because it is faster than using 1Password to generate a password now (and because it is better than 1Password's own online password generator), which is just sad.
