I’m often in need of generating a password, or a secret key for an API, or a password for an account for the client, which I don’t want to store in my own Vault, etc - I would like to be able to generate the Password Generator without logging in.
Is there anything I’m missing that would prevent from making it available at all times, no matter if authenticated or not?
The browser extension allows unauthenticated users to create passwords. You can use this as a temporary solution. Its weird that the desktop app actually doesn’t do this. This will be a nice to feature to have.
So is it really really really that a big and complicated and no-time-available feature to make the dialog available for non-authenticated users? Asking after three years passed.
I can imagine, that one consideration could be, that there had to be another generator history then, that is not associated with one account. – Usually, the generator history to any BW app - as this is not synced - is the local generator history in that app and for that account.
@gtran@djsmith85 FYI, it is still possible for unauthenticated users to generate passwords (with no recorded history), by using the keyboard shortcut or right-click context menu in the browser extension.
Likewise, password generation is also possible for users who are logged in to the Desktop app while the app is locked; passwords generated in this manner are also not stored in any history.
If there is a concerted effort to prevent users from generating passwords that are not stored in the generator history, then the generation methods enumerated above should also be disabled.
