Hey miltonBA,

You can change the length of the suggested password from the Password Generator. 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 type 'Random Password' and use the toggle to adjust the length
  4. You can then click 'Autofill' or choose 'Copy' and paste it into the field.

I hope this helps, let us know if you have any more questions.
