Password generator when exporting ssh keys

It would be nice to integrate the password generator when exporting ssh keys to create a random passphrase saved in the key entry in 1Password.  The workflow for this is clunky currently as I create a new password field in the entry with a randomly generated password and then use that as the passphrase when exporting the key.  Now, when the key is exported 1 password saves an entry of the passphrase used to export the key.  Now I’ve got two entries for the same phrase.

 

it would be a much simpler flow if the passphrase could be randomly generated inside the export key dialogue instead.

    I agree. Currently I've settled on using the browser extension to generate a password, and then pasting that into the export field. But it definitely should be integrated, so it isn't encouraging unencrypted SSH keys to be exported.
