Is there a way to recover a password, which I copied from the generator?

I looked already in the passwords category but it's not there. I didn't click the copy button. I selected the password and copied it.

    @TAiS: No. If you did not click Fill or Copy, 1Password won't know you used it. You'd only have a Password item in that case, or a Login if you'd saved one yourself. Unfortunately if 1Password saved every password it ever generated, our vaults would quickly be bloated; so 1Password saves only the passwords it knows you have at least tried to use. :(

    Any chance to have a log somewhere on the mac?

    @TAiS: No. 1Password only ever saves data inside the vault. Logging generated passwords to a text file somewhere on your computer would be security liability. And saving every generated password, even if unused, would make it much harder for us to find the right one later if needed. So it only saves them when you've indicated that you're using it. I'm sorry I don't have better news for you in this case, but I hope you can understand that there are reasons it works this way. :(
