2 years agogenerating a password with 1password8, MacOS, chrome
OK, so : I used 1Password7, and it was pretty easy to generate a password when signing in a new site (there were a button, simple and easy). Now, with 1password8, I do not longer find this functionality. This is extremely surprising (and to be frank I am a bit frustrated and disappointed as well).
I send attached a registration form, and the 1password windows. Would someone tell me how to obtain a new password ? That would be cool! Thanks.

Another vote to please restore back a permanent link to the password generator. if there is a shortcut, surely you can add a new menu or toolbar button and have it use that same shortcut. Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me bushibear, we appreciate the feedback.
Let us know if there's anything else we can help with at all.

steph.giles, thank you for your help through all this.
I was able to get the browser shortcuts to work.
And for passing along the feedback to your group. I typically have 1password application open at all times and could set a system keyboard shortcut to pull the generator from there (and I have tried in Ventura - both with the 1P app and the 1P app for Safari, however it doesn't work).
Hopefully this is something that the team might consider.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks for getting back to us bushibear, I understand where you are coming from and have passed on your feedback.
As for the shortcut, you need to open 1Password in your browser by either clicking on the icon in your browser toolbar or hitting CMD+SHIFT+X and then CMD+G should open the password generator.
I hope this helps!

Thank you. It's odd that taking away something we had and asking for it back is a feature request. How about restoring removed functionality? However I do understand the need for updates and items get moved around, just that as I stated not everything that is password related is web related...
So I've looked at this link and see that the short cut is CMD-G. In my Safari instance (MacOS Ventura-current), I just get the bell error sound. I've looked in 1Password preferences and don't see this, also the settings in the extension do not reference a CMD-G. Sorry to be so dense, but can you please point me to the setting for this-in either the app or the Safari Extension.
Thank you for helping.

Hey bushibear, I'm afraid there's not a way to do that. For now, I recommend opening your browser and using a shortcut to open the password generator if you need to get to it fast: https://support.1password.com/keyboard-shortcuts/
In the meantime, I'll add your voice to a feature request that we have to make the password generator more accessible. Hopefully this is something that can be looked at soon.
I appreciate your time and patience. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Is there a way to call up the password generator as in previous versions from the mini app, rather than in the browser?
I have a need for passwords on many occasions what are not related to the WWW.
Thanks,
