    Hey @pbenner,

    You can only currently access the Password Generator from 1Password in your browser. Do you think it would be beneficial to add this functionality to the 1Password desktop app as well? I'd love to hear your feedback and pass this on to our Product team.

    Thank you!

    So where is the password generator in 1Password 8 for Mac desktop? I've looked everywhere I could think of.

    Hey twentw,

    You can amend the suggested password length from the Password Generator in your browser, here's how:

    1. Click on the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and sign in.
    2. Click the round menu next to the search bar and choose 'Password Generator'.
    3. Change the password type to 'Random password' in the drop down.

    Beneath here you can change the password length and also choose your default for suggestions.

    I hope this helps!
