Where is password generator in version 8? How can I open this directly?
I'm really confused by this. There is 1password app, 1password mini and browser extensions for Safari and Chrome, both of which browsers I use.
In 1P7 I think I had uninstalled the browser extensions because pressing Cmd-\ did everything I needed with less confusion, including I think allowing me to create new passwords? Or maybe I am misremembering. SO I don't have the browser extensions installed.
Now in 1P8 pressing Cmd-\ either fills the password (with a lovely UI) or offers the excellent new floating quick access interface if I have a choice of credentials to use.
But if I want to ask 1P to create a new password then in 1P8 I have been doing this:
- open 1Password app
 - New Item / Login
 - Type in the memorable name
 - Type in or copy and paste the email or username
 - Generate a password
 - Paste that back in to the site
 - Paste the FQDN of the site in to 1Password
 - Press save, then close 1 password
 
I'm sure this clumsy approach is not what is intended. What is the best way to do this currently please?
