Hey break80, thanks for reaching out. You should certainly be able to adjust the parameters on the fly with the Password Generator in your browser. Here are the steps to do so:

  1. Click on the 1Password extension icon in your browser.
  2. Select Settings > Password Generator
  3. Change the Type from Smart Password to Random Password.
  4. Adjust the password parameters to suit your needs.

The password generator in 1Password 8 is only available through editing or creating an item. It will appear once the password field is selected > Create a New Password. We currently have an internal request opened to add the password generator to the system tray and Quick Access as it is in 1Password 7. I'll be sure to add your voice to show our developers that there is interest in this feature.

Let me know if this helps!

Ali
