In Chrome Version 73.0.3683.103 (Official Build) (64-bit) my 1Password X extension (1.14.3) doesn't allow Words as a choice when generating passwords. Words are much more secure, so this is frustrating.

1Password Version: 1password 7
Extension Version: 1.14.3
OS Version: OS X 10.14.4
Sync Type: iCloud
Referrer: forum-search:password generator not allowing words

    @capgemlb: Thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry for the confusion! While random word-based passwords can be secure, a fully random character-based password of the same length will always be stronger. So we recommend using the "random password" option (the default) in the vast majority of cases:

    But you can also select "memorable password" type when you need one that you can, well...remember and type:

    I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)
