If you click the + button and use the password option you can leave off the username if you wish.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that method requires these extra steps:
- Make the password copyable by clicking Use, then select and copy it.
- Click the X in the upper right-hand corner of the New Item window and click Discard Changes.
As far as I can tell, it's faster and easier to use the password generator in the browser extension:
- Open a browser window and click the 1Password icon in the Toolbar, then click the Settings icon (circle with three horizontal bars) > Password Generator.
- Select and copy the password.
- Click the X in the upper right-hand corner of the Password Generator to close it. (Or click anywhere in the browser window to close both the Password Generator and the browser extension.)
