Password protected Password Generator, why ?

Hi, why do we need to enter password when I want to use Password Generator ? To generate passwords you shouldn´t need to enter password or at least it would be a choise in setting ? Any thoughts about that ?

    @dangul: Can you give me a specific example, as far as what you're trying to do and the steps you're taking?

    If you just mean you have to unlock 1Password in order to use it, then yeah...1Password needs to save passwords you generate and use, to prevent getting locked out of an account by not saving them. In order to do that, it needs your Master Password to be able to both decrypt your existing data but also encrypt the new stuff you're generating.

    Does that help? :)
