Basic question on how to use 1Password
I may be stupid, but I cannot get 1Password to work: I'm trying to change a password, and would like 1Password to generate one for me, but it doesn't seem to work. In the 'password' field, I click on the icon and it offers the existing password (which is incorrect - Keeper messed up all my passwords! - hence I am trying 1Password). It offers what I have. Looking at the video, 1Password says I should click the 1Password icon in my browser toolbar to bring up a menu which can then offer a password generator - but I don't have an icon, just the Chrome extension icon with no obvious option on the 1Password extension. If I click the 1Password icon in the password field, some menu appears, but it is underneath the stored password ...

Hi @rrtuckwell !
I should click the 1Password icon in my browser toolbar to bring up a menu which can then offer a password generator - but I don't have an icon.
Actually there are 2 browser extensions for 1Password. Both work different.
If you are using the "1Password classic extension" you find a button for the password generator on the left side.
If you are using "1Password in the browser" you have to click on the plus button to get the password generator.
I hope this helps?

Ah, thanks for that: I have neither:
I'll try to find out how to install it in Chrome - although it is already there?
I have seen great reviews for 1Password, but to me it seems unusable ...

Hey @rrtuckwell !
You have to pin the 1Password extension!
This is a Chrome feature. All extensions are hidden after installation, and you have to pin them if you want to see them in the toolbar! ;)

Yes! that works - thank you!
None of the set up guides seem to show that.

Great! :+1:

This feature is new to Chrome. It takes some time to change the guides. But I think that 1Password is working on it. ;)
