Password Generator Improvements
I really enjoy using the password generator. I prefer using the "Memorable Password" both because I think length is more secure than complex and because I still sometimes have to type passwords.

2 years agoThanks for the reply. For the saving/filling issues that you mentioned, are you running into them when using a browser on a Windows or Mac device? Or when on your Android phone?
I also use the password generator to fill in "Security Questions". Those "What is your favorite color" questions are about the stupidest form of security I can imagine. By generating a phrase in the password generator I can enter a sequence that an AI scanning of Facebook isn't going to guess at. Even on those I ran into a 20 character limit on a retirement website.
You can already generate security questions using the 1Password app: Create unique answers to security questions
I would ask if you though about putting in a 2 Factor Authenticator into the app version.
1Password has a handy feature on Android (and iOS) where, once you've filled your login, your 2FA one-time password is copied to the clipboard so that you can paste it into the website or app: Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication - Use your one-time password
In a desktop browser, after your fill your username and password, 1Password automatically fills your one-time password.
I look forward to hearing from you.
