Hi @En1:

Thanks for asking! Currently the way to generate a new password would be through creating a new Password item in the 1Password app. I can definitely see how being able to quickly generate a password would be useful however, and I've added your input to an existing feature request we have on this.

In the meantime, an alternative option would be to use the password generator in your browser:

  1. Click on the 1Password extension icon in your browser.
  2. Click on the Password Generator (Key Icon).
  3. Change the Type from Smart Password to Random Password.
  4. Adjust the password parameters to suit your needs.

Let me know how you get on with that!

Jack
