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.

I try to do as much account maintenance from a PC keyboard as I can. Typically my use on a phone or tablet would be just access. It looks like my most common use case is in a functional hole compared to all of the other app scenarios. At least I don't see a way to accomplish the security question function using chrome.
I also checked to see how to do the security questions from my Android phone. The instructions for Android say to tap "EDIT" (in bold). It took me quite a while to figure out that "EDIT" is really a pencil icon at the top of the display. I noticed it allowed me to add a security answer without communicating with the service involved. Mostly, I was extremely uncomfortable doing precision editing on my phone. On a different screen I found myself dragging items around instead of scrolling. It's just too easy to do something unintentional editing on the phone.
I really didn't follow the instructions for the one-time password. "...copy the one-time password to your clipboard." Copy from where? A real 2FA generates a unique pattern of codes, usually every 30-60 seconds. Google Authenticator, Symmantec VIP, Entrust Identity, Microsoft Authenticator all perform this function. Many security apps include this kind of algorithm and can register to create that sequence as well. If 1Password is doing this it is not apparent.
All of this really pertains to the conditions and manner with which I use 1Password and not really the original request.
