Hello @"D@ve",

Thanks for writing in. I'm sorry for any trouble. If the option "Smart Password" is set, then the Password Generator will suggest passwords that meet the password requirements of a website.

You can still access the Password Generator from the 1Password extension, here's how:

  1. Click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar.
  2. Click the Menu ( ☰ ) icon beside the search field and select "Password Generator".
    • Alternatively, you can use the CMD⌘ + G keyboard shortcut after the extension pop-up is opened to open the password generator.

You can then set a different type to generate a password and set that as default.

That being said, I do understand the usefulness in adding the password generator in the context menu to quickly access it. I've shared your feedback to our product team.

I hope that helps! Let me know how things go, @"D@ve".
