Password Generator for Hidden Custom Field

Feature Requests Password Manager
1

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:

  1. Close the edit tab
  2. Switch to the generator
  3. Copy the generated password
  4. Insert it into the hidden field text input

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:

Field Types: in addition to “Hidden“, offer a “Auto Generated Password“ field type

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:

  1. save/cancel current login edit
  2. go back to the main screen
  3. click generator
  4. copy the password generated
  5. click back to the vault
  6. re-search the specific login card to use to enter the password string
  7. edit the card.
  8. add field
  9. select hidden
  10. paste the password
