Password generation in 1Browser

mb1

Does anyone have an idea as to what happened to the password generation button in 1Browser and how to regain the functionality?

Thanks.

Hi @mb1,

There is currently no password generator in 1Password 4.5 for iOS, but thanks for letting us know that you're interested in seeing this feature - it sounds like a great addition to me! :)

I would really like this feature added too please :-) Heartbleed password resetting is difficult in iPad let alone iPhone but I've done it for vital sites. If this could be added that would be great. Many thanks, Megan.

Hi @bottleneck,

Thanks for adding your thoughts here! I understand how Heartbleed has complicated a lot of things here. Here's my current workflow for changing passwords on my iPad:

• Open 1Password 4 for iOS, and unlock it.
• Go to the login item you want to update.
• Tap on the website address to launch the 1Browser, which should log you into the site.
• Navigate to the site’s Change Password form, and enter your current password. Copy it from the vault view of the item, if needed, by sliding the 1Browser aside for a moment.
• Once the current password is entered into the form, slide the 1Browser aside, and place the login into Edit mode.
• Either type in a new password, or use the Strong Password Generator to generate a new one.
• Save the login.
• Copy the password field, and slide the 1Browser back into view.
• Paste the new password into the new and confirmation fields, then save the changes to the form.

It might not be quite as quick as using a password generator within 1Browser, but it does have the benefit of saving the new password to your Login immediately so that it doesn't get lost. ;)
