Create new login from generated password.
Is there really no way to create a new login from the the list of generated passwords in 1Password? Do I have to copy and paste the password into a new item?
The generated passwords already have the location and the password, it seems so natural to have a way to just save that information and create a login from it.

Step One:
Step two:
For whatever reason, sometimes 1Password does not prompt to update a password when certain password forms are submitted. Perhaps because the submission is done asynchronously.
So, I go into 1Password, and find that generated passwords are conveniently stored in their own section, however, there is no way to save them permanently into logins.

As far as I know, there's no "convert Password item to Login item" in 1Password for Windows.
Instead, go to the site's login form, enter the username and newly generated password (using copy-and-paste), but don't submit the login form yet.
Click on the 1Password button in the browser toolbar, and choose Settings > Save new Login.
In the dialog box that appears, change Create new Login to Replace [Login name], and click Save.
(Back on the site's login page, you can continue with the login, if you like.)
I hope that helps, @Jables. Please let us know how it goes.

@Jables When the 1Password auto-save window creates a new Login item, then it will seek out for generated password items in your Vault. When it finds a matching generated password (having the same password for the same domain), then it will move this generated password to your Trash after it has created a new Login item.

I wasn't aware of the Save New Login function. That will help, thanks.
