Password Generator

I think that the password generator is vital to maintaining good passwords, but I have a few problems and I'm not certain why.

It usually acts flawlessly. But I have a few questions/problems and am not sure if I'm doing it right.

Sometimes it does not pop up. And I can't find it until I go several layers into 1PW.

There are times I need to have a password for a paper form, or I may be asked for it in a membership application. The domain is not always a match, so I might not want to have the process be totally automatic.

But when I select 1PW from within my browser, the Password Generator is not available. There are a few other times where I have needed it and cannot find it. It may be me....it may be a bunch of unusual circumstances, but it would help me have better security, save me time, and make 1PW a better tool.

1Password has been a service I can trust, but my big issue (which includes this) is that I can't find many functions. A great improvement is the listing that takes me directly to help and logs me in. Bravo. This form asks me to find the version number. After looking two places, I will pass. I haven't been fond of hide and seek since childhood.

Provide something that tells us where we will find what we want.

    Hi @senioruserfriendly!

    What browser are you currently using?

    But when I select 1PW from within my browser, the Password Generator is not available.

    Can you post a screenshot of where you are looking, and where you are expecting to see the password generator? Thank you!

    Sometimes 1Password does not suggest a new password. In those cases, I go to a generic website to generate one. If I click on the icon within Firefox, there's no option to see the Password Generator.![

    Hello @senioruserfriendly,

    Thanks for the screenshot. You can find the password generator by selecting the plus icon at the top right corner of 1Password's popup.
