Password Generator from within the clients itself?

roncri

I know how to get to the Password Generator from within the extension/add-on but can't find anyway from within the client outside of creating a "dummy" new login. I often need to generate passwords outside of the browser so it would be nice to have easy access just to the feature from within the client.



Thanks,

Select [b]File > New Item > Password[/b] from the menu bar. <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Isn't there a way to add that to the menu bar at the top for quicker and easier access? Myself personally I am in the process of revamping ALL of my passwords to be individual and 12+ characters long. The long list of hacked sites, stolen passwords and sheer lack of security and blatant incompetence by banks, online shopping sites, etc has me want to be more secure.

Hi @Michael_D,

Not at the moment, why not use the generate button next to your Logins items? That'll let you generate the password on the fly. This is what we're moving toward, we'll be adding the generate button to all password fields in all items, so you don't need to use the dedicated password generator.

Thanks Mike T, I will try that as well. Just getting used to the migration to 1Password for Windows, and since its based on the older version of 1Password for Mac its tough getting used to the older ways.

The Mac and Windows continue to become more consistent as time goes by. I'll make sure the developers get your feedback on this specific issue. Thanks!
