Hi 9elsen,

Rather than clicking to edit the item, and generating a password within the desktop app, you can use the following steps to generate a new password and copy and paste it:

  1. Click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar.
  2. Click the Menu icon to the left of the "+ New Item" button.
  3. Select the Password Generator.
  4. Adjust the password to your liking, then click Copy.
    • Clicking Autofill instead will autofill the new password and bring up a prompt to update the existing item.
  5. Paste the password in the password field.
  6. Click the "Save in 1Password" suggestion to save the new password.
    • If you don't automatically see the "Save in 1Password" suggestion under the password field after pasting the password, click the 1Password icon within the field to view the menu.

Let us know if that works for you, and if you have any questions.
