Generate a password without it auto saving.

I am a full time web developer who used 1password to generate secure and random usernames and passwords for server use. Is there a way to use the "Password Generator" without it auto saving what is generated directly into the passwords section of 1Passwords. I would love to have a setting that allows you to turn off the auto saving of generated passwords. This is just for "Generate Password" when I manually generate then copy a password. If I use it on a form on a website, I still want 1Password to save it as a login like normal.

    Hey @ATLChris,

    When I use the Copy option, the password is not saved to the Passwords category in 1Password. Only when I click Fill is the password saved.

    Does that work for you?

    Hey @ATLChris,

    It just remembered that I had to set this as a preference. I swear that there used to be a Save Password when Copied to Clipboard preference in mini's UI, but I don't see it any more.

    Try running this Terminal command:

    If you're using the AgileBits website version of 1Password:

    defaults write 2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword4-helper PasswordSaveWhenCopiedToClipboard FALSE

    If you're using the Mac App Store version of 1Password:

    defaults write 2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword-osx-helper PasswordSaveWhenCopiedToClipboard FALSE
