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 ...

Let me add my voice of disappointment about the disappearance of the password generator. I'm sorry, but I don't want to add something to my browser to do this. I just want what the previous version had: an option that was accessible via right-clicking the icon in the System Tray (Windows, obvs).
Besides creating a new account, another reason I might want to generate a new password is because 1Password is telling me a site has been compromised. [See UPDATE below]
This shouldn't be hard. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops. You already had the functionality. Please bring it back.
Thank you.
[UPDATE] I now see that I can generate a new password for an existing Login item by (1) visiting that item, (2) clicking Edit, (3) clicking in the password field, and (4) clicking Create New Password in the pop-up that appears.
I also noticed that I can more generally generate a new password by (1) clicking the three dots in the upper left corner, (2) Clicking New Item, (3) clicking Password, (4) clicking in the Password field, (5) clicking Create New Password in the pop-up that appears. After clicking the "Use" button, I can then copy that new generated password, and paste it where I need it. So, not as bad as I thought it was initially, but I still hope you'll bring back the option in the menu associated with the System Tray icon.
Thanks again.
