1Password password suggested on website... let me choose the rules

When I'm registering on a new site I would like to use 1Password to suggest me a password... but not with the rules it decide but the one I want ... is there a setting to set somewhere or is not there yet...?


1Password Version: 8.0
Extension Version: 2.1.0
OS Version: macOS 12.0

    Glad to hear you were able to find it. :+1: Also, thanks for the feedback - I'll be sure to share it with the team.

    By default 1Password will suggest what we call a "Smart Password" based on the site specifications. If you'd like to adjust the default offering, you'll have to do so directly from the extension.

    1. Click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar.
    2. Click "+" and choose Password Generator.
    3. From here you can adjust the "Type" to suit your preferences.
    4. Once you've adjusted the preferred parameters of the password you wish to have offered, you will be able to select "Use as default for suggestions" as Ana suggested above.

    Yes, it's also in the beta of the beta extension. Can you post a screenshot of what the password generator window looks like to you in the browser?

    I don't see that option ... is it in 1Password X beta too?

    Hi mcnahum!

    Yes: when you are in the password generator in the 1Password browser extension, you can enable the option Use as default for suggestions to do this.
