Hey @Maokee, thanks for writing in!

By default, the 1Password extension's password generator is set to "Smart Password", that will suggest passwords that meet the password requirements of a website.

However, you can change it to "Random" instead and set that as default. Here's how:

  1. Click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar.
  2. Click the Menu ( ☰ ) icon next to "+ New Item" and select "Password Generator".
  3. Change the "Type" to "Random Password" and toggle on the "Use as default for suggestions" option.
  4. Then, you can choose to toggle symbols and numbers and the length of characters.

I hope that helps! Let me know how that goes.
