Using generated passwords

rlgleason51

I am familiar with the concept of generated passwords but not clear on the implementation, pros and cons, etc. I know that they are much much more secure,but is there any cons to using them?

When generated, do they use special,characters? If so, how are websites that don't allow the use of special characters handled?

Once generated, does 1p treat them like any other password in terms of saving and editing?

Thanks for being patient.

Forgive me for not typing out a full answer here but this knowledge base article does a much better job than I could do of explaining how to generate passwords using 1P for iOS. It also explains how you can generate passwords using specific criteria for the characters to be included.

I know that they are much much more secure,but is there any cons to using them?

Possibly only the fact that they're usually impossible to remember! However, that's the exact reason you're using a good password manager.

Once generated, does 1p treat them like any other password in terms of saving and editing?

Yes.

I hope this is helpful but if you have more questions do please post again.
