Generate a random alias in Proton Pass
Currently, if you want to create a SimpleLogin alias from Proton Pass, you have to manually set a name for the alias, and by default it uses the title field to generate it.
Would be great to have a button just like the SL UI that lets you click a button which generates a random alias.
Bonus if there's a drop down to that option that lets you further customise by domain.

This behavior is already implemented in the iOS app but isn't available in either the macOS app or the Chrome or Safari extensions on desktop.
Because the logic already exists on iOS, this should be a simple port rather than new development -- well worth it for feature parity.
The iOS app uses the login Title when entered for the prefix, but when not entered, generates a random prefix. This is a reasonable default and user-friendly.
On top of not supporting random alias prefixes, the current desktop apps require you to type a Login title before an alias can be generated. Skipping the title means extra clicks to unhide the prefix input in Advanced Options and enter a custom one there, which is awkward behavior.
