I don't know 1password, but I wouldn't think so, David. I didn't have a PP generator, and had some
fun rolling my own. I share with the Xycommunity out of habit, but I'm not looking for converts.
Well ... I just tried a few of the free online offerings, from Keeper, Bitwarden, and Proton (which
is my password manager). They all seem to produce long phrases, using common words. Mine generates
shorter phrases, using a combination of uncommon/weird words, including proper names, and random
numbers. Sort of a password/phrase hybrid. Also, it generates 15 at a time, so you can choose or
mix-and-match.
