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 got removed from this right click one and I can't seem to find it in a quick manner inside the app itself either - only the web page https://1password.com/landing/password-generator/
_1Password Version:8.5.0-57
_Extension Version:Not working
_OS Version:Windows 10 21H2

I wish the community had an upvote feature so that users could upvote requested features, instead of having to comment "+1 from me" and then dev team members having to keep track of that.
+1 from me.

Hello PLISSKEN,
Thanks for your mock-up and feedback about the inclusion of password generator in the 1Password 8 app.
Darcorn, I appreciate you sending PLISSKEN this way and for your additional comment about the this feature being available through a keyboard shortcut.
I'll send your thoughts along to the Product team regarding both ideas.

I'd love it to be accessible through a keyboard shortcut too :)

Saw this thread and wanted to chime in, did a mock-up too :D

+1. I'd vote for this to be directly accessible from menu also (rather than only from the new/edit entry screen) - assume the macOS version is the same too!

Hello @pixel8,
Thanks for your message. Currently, we have no news to share about when or if this type of feature might be added to 1Password 8, but since it looks like you're new to the fray, I'll pass your request along to the team for consideration.
For the time being, in order to create a new generated password for a web app, you can create the new Login item in 1Password 8 and once you select the password field, an option will appear to Create a New Password. This functionality is similar to the password generator:
The password generator is also available in 1Password in the browser: Create a custom password
If you have any other questions or concerns, just let us know!

When will we get feedback from the product team if this feature is on the roadmap and approximately when, please?
I'm trying to create a new user in a web application and we have to enter and create a new password. Do I really have to create the user in 1password first, then in the app?

I would like to add my voice to those of who are asking for a quick way to generate a password especially as 1P8 doesn't allow the user to use the suggested one when in Travel Mode. Cheers.
