Generate Password should be available in "Add Login" dialogue

When creating a new web site login, on the second screen where one enters their user name and password, there should be an option to generate a password for that site. The current workflow with one going to the generate password tool, and then assigning it to a separate list is totally non-intuitive. Further, it isn't clear how the generated password can be linked to a previously created Login, which really is the whole point, isn't it?

As currently implemented, the password generator seems useless on iOS. I thought I was a pretty smart guy, but this totally baffles me. Help...

    Hi Mike,

    We're looking to greatly improve this process in our next major update to 1Password, I can't promise exactly when this will be available but we know we can improve the login creation process.

    I suggest aleso to insert a generate password button in tre frame of login modification. In order to simplify tue password modification (for example in case of security breach in a web site, or password change request when requested)

    Hi Fancesco,

    Thanks for the suggestion. We'll certainly do what we can when we get ready for the next release.

    We're really sorry for the inconvenience though.
