4 years agoWhere is the password generator?
The password generator used to have a right click option on the 1Password notification tray icon. This was useful as an IT admin having to constantly generate passwords fast.
I am not sure why it ...

4 years agoJust moved to v8 and very disappointed to see no password generator. The development assumption that password generation is expressly linked to creation of a new item is faulty logic and inherently flawed. Many use cases exist for needing to do password generation outside of a created and maintained item. Please add the functionality back to the Windows app. If you're at a loss for how to invoke it, simply add a line for it in the "3-dots" root menu.
Here is what is required for Jack's earlier suggestion to use the app:
1. Click new item
2. Select a new item type
3. Move to the password field
4. Click on create new password
5. Accept and/or modify the password-generation parameters
6. Select the generated password
7. Copy the generated password
8. Try to close the "temporary" new item
9. Validate with 1P to discard changes (yet another click)
Should require only 1/3 of those steps at most
