A field of type hidden, can be used to store additional passwords related to the “main” password.
There is no way to generate a passwort inside the edit menu. You have to:
Add an option to generate the password inside the edit screen.
Adding some additional context - hidden fields are useful for storing things like security words and security questions. We often want to randomly generate such values since they are effectively a password. It’s quite inconvenient to have to toggle between the generator and the edit item tabs just to create a new account that requires security questions.
building a bit on this request:
I would defer to the UI experts and implementers but for instance, you would select the “autogenerated password” and it will expand the window with the same screen we already have when we click “generator” and use the string in the field content.
→ saves several steps:
Hi,
Since Bitwarden doesn’t have different storage types like 1Password does, you can only save individual passwords in notes (Hidden). It would be very useful if the password generator were also accessible there, so you could generate new passwords and save them directly.

There are “hidden” custom fields – do you mean those?
If not: which “notes (Hidden)” exactly do you mean? (and there is an item type “Note” – and there is a notes field in all item types… but none of them are hidden, so please explain…)
Item Type “Notes” then create a hidden Field in there.
It would be nice if the Generator is also accessible from there.
Thanks! As that is a hidden custom field, I merged your request with this existing one on the same topic.
Thank you Nail.
The suggestion dates back to 2020. I wonder if it will ever be implemented—I certainly hope so!
