Having trouble changing passwords

Trying to change a few passwords with the password generator in 1password. It would be great if it recognized that it was generating a new password for a site. Now I'm having to go through the whole forgot password process for every site that I tried thanks to 1password.

I'm running a MacBook retina 2013 with El Capitan installed and the latest update of 1password.


1Password Version: 5.4.1
Extension Version: 4.4.3.90

    @architect713: The best thing to do is to make sure that you save the new password for the site in the appropriate Login item in 1Password...but failing that, the good news is that 1Password can automatically save generated passwords when you use them, so you can recover them later if needed (rather than going through the website's password recovery process):

    Unfortunately 1Password won't be able to log you in unless it's got the correct password for the site, but hopefully this makes it a bit easier for you to simply copy over the new passwords you've generated from their respective Password items. :)
