Different types of passwords

in 1Password in the Browser

I installed 1Password several days ago and have been busily reconfiguring a couple hundred formerly duplicate or weak passwords. Many of these conversions have been quickly achieved. A few others achieved only with considerable effort, even though I think I'm following the same procedure. It seems that different websites and login situations react differently to 1Password.

A couple of days ago, I found 1Password offered option of 24 digit random alpha-num passwords, and also offered passwords made of 3 or 4 (or maybe more) whole words, separated by hyphens. (And I think there was a third type). But at present I find only the random 24 digit type and I would like to use the whole word type. But I can't find how to access that choice again. I have 1Password on the Mac dock at the foot of my screen, the 1Password logo shows on the tool bar at the top, and I have the 1PW extension active in my Brave browser, v 1.11.104.

There must be a quick and simple way to find the to other options, so I hope someone can clue me. Thanks. MT

    Hi @Mutang!

    But at present I find only the random 24 digit type and I would like to use the whole word type. But I can't find how to access that choice again.

    You can access the password generator options directly in the 1Password browser extension, there is a little dropdown menu there for this:
