Current secure password generation functionality
I am a Lastpass expat evaluating 1Password functionality. I understand that the preferred way of generating a secure pw is to click on the button appearing in the password field. However, this button does not appear for every website, and I would like an easy ability to generate a secure password in such cases. The help docs that I found seem to be outdated. They direct me to click on the extension button, then "+", then on password generator. There seems to be no "Password generator" entry. There is a "Password" one, seemingly meant to be a vault entry, rather than a generator. It can be used to generate a secure password, but there is no history or copy buttons there.
Am I missing something here? Is there a less awkward way to generate a secure password? In Lastpass and Bitwarden this functionality is available in the page right-click menu as well as top-level on the extension menu.
1Password Version: 7.6.793
Extension Version: 1.24.0
OS Version: Win 10
Sync Type: Not Provided

Hey @railshot , Welcome to 1Password! :chuffed:
If 1Password doesn't automatically show on the page where you need a new password, you can get to the generator like so:
- Click the 1Password icon on the top right corner of your browser to open it.
- Click the big PLUS icon to reveal the menu.
- Select the "Password Generator" (the very first option in the list, above the "Login" option).

Ugh, I am blind. Thanks for stating that it was above the Login option.
