Automatic password regeneration when clicking on password cog

Hi,

I'm confused with this functionality, and I'm finding it very odd and irritating. Whenever I press the cog on the right hand side, it automatically wipes my existing password and immediately replaces it with a regenerated one.

Why would this be desired behaviour? I or one of my family members could then do this accidentally, and press save without even realising (Like I have done myself just now)

    Hi @Amperduke! Welcome to the forum!

    Thank you for sharing your feedback about this! I can see how this can be confusing, so I have added your feedback to the internal issue we are using to discuss this :+1:

    Even if that happened, 1Password stores the password history inside every item, so it would always be possible to retrieve the previous password ;)
