This.. I'm sure it's happening because the respective websites use JavaScript to submit the form data via XHR, but I've been burned so many times by the password generator that I'm writing down the password from the field before submitting it. Very frustrating!

Entering it in the actual login form will then usually trigger a save of the credentials.

Nice thing about 1Password (just a user) is that when you submit a generated password it is also temporarily copied to the clipboard. I paste it somewhere (typically at a bash prompt) in case this happens if it does make or adjust the correct entry. Sucks, but there are, as they say, no standards.

The nice thing about it being at the bash prompt is I can just press ^U and it doesn't end up stored anywhere (and even if it did it would be a random, contextless string).
