Generate password from about:logins

[CubeOfCheese]

I would like to generate a secure password from the about:logins page.

On some websites, the browser does not recognize the password field and therefore does not suggest a strong password. I also want to generate passwords for desktop apps, other devices etc.

Currently I have to navigate to a random website, pretend to create a new account, then copy the generated password.

Instead I would like to open the passwords manager and generate a new password from there.

There is already a button to create a new login in the passwords manager. I think that would be a perfect place to add this functionality.

Suggest new password on about:logins

I was creating new logins from about:logins, but it's not possible to have a suggestion of a new password from there yet. Can you create it?

Is this still in development? it seems there is no more movement here since 2023. I think this would be very useful, I don't trust enough in online generators. I want to use it for desktop apps and keep them safe!

Same ! It is definitely a usefull feature.

Any update? @Jon
