Option to save the login information from the password generated
As of now, after a password is generated the only option available is to copy the generated password. You then either create a new login information and paste the password there or use your password in a site or app and let proton autosave it. A feature wherein you can save the generated password along with the login information directly from the 'generate password' popup would be useful.

Hi again Jay, Same comment for this idea. Which OS and software versions were you running when you had this problem?

When setting a new password for an account, Proton Pass suggests a new password, and usually it is a complex one. This is great, but I must be able to copy it in order to actually use this password. That is, at least when this password has not yet been actually used and stored in the Proton Pass secure vault.
Some account creation procedures enable users to "unmask" a password. In these cases usually an eye icon appears at the right side of the new password field. Clicking this icon unmasks the password and users can copy the password that Proton Pass suggested.
But many times this is not possible and users are left with only a series of dots that are masking the password. These situations render Proton Pass's password suggestions useless, because there is no way to copy the password to actually use it.
So please enable us to copy the suggested password at the time that the suggestion is made.

Not only useful, but neccessary. Coming from something like 1Password, where generated passwords are autosaved, I've already had a couple of times with Proton Pass where I forgot to create a new login after generating, and then having to go through the password reset. ( : | )

When a new password is set, there are websites that redirect to a new page to set the new password, so the Proton Pass addin does not understand that it belongs to an existing account and sets the suggested password, which unfortunately cannot be copied. As soon as this happens, you can start again from the beginning with changing the password.
