Update an existing record
I think I must be living in a senior moment. I cannot work out how to update and existing record in 1P8. It used to be so simple in 1P7: Go to the site, Open but do not action the log in click the ri...

Update: For reasons totally unconnected with 1P I had to reset my browser (Edge) to its defaults. In so doing all my extensions were wiped out. When I went to add them back I found that I had loaded but uninstalled two browser extensions for 1P. The first was under the "Microsoft Store" and entitled 1Password - Password Manager. The second was listed under "From Other Sources" and entitled 1Password Extension (Desktop app required). Why I have two? No idea. Which was origianlly installed? Equally no idea. Maybe both were installed. What is the difference between them? Again no idea.
Anyway I installed the one from the Microsoft Store and it seems to be working better than on previous days.
However I have another question related to this. I was on a website (UPS) and it asked me to change my password and there was a field for me to enter a new password. This was, I thought, an excellent time for me to use the 1P generator but I totally failed to find how do do that. Again it is something that was easy to do in 1P7. How is it now meant to be done? This field did not have a 1P icon in it, just a blank box for the password to be entered. I clicked the 1P extension icon in my browser but that onlly took me to that ridiculous "Suggestions". So I had to make up a minimum 12 character password including a mixture of Upper and Lower Case, at least one number and at least one special character. Having created it I was al least asked if I wanted to update my record but I wanted access to the Password generator, too.
Thanks for your help in telling me how to do that.
