Pass phrase generator

rob_gendreau

Is there a pass phrase generator in 1Password somewhere? I am looking for something akin to Diceware, although I realize that can't be truly implemented since 1Password generated words wouldn't be truly random. But it would be better than nothing. I seem to recall that True Crypt has you generate numbers semi randomly by driving around your mouse; perhaps you could use something like that. Although I took your advice to use a pass phrase instead of a password for 1Password itself, there are some sites where I have to memorize a password/phrase and I'd like to be able to generate them in 1Password as it would help me store them, instead of generating them externally and then pasting them in.

Apparently the Windows version does what you want, but so far, not the Mac version. Based on what's in the Windows version, I would predict we will see that in the Mac version too.

I was just talking to @jpgoldberg‌ about this other day. It's something we'd like to bring to all versions. Right now it is crunch time for Apple's releases. But this is something we all want.

@chrisdj Hi Chris has there been any updates on this feature? Would love to have passwords I can actually type out.

Hi @Kevllar,

Unfortunately, no progress yet, we have other stuff we need to finish first. We do want to bring dice-ware generator into all 1Password apps as fast as we can but we don't have a timeframe at the moment.
