Generate secure passwords from the main KeeFox toolbar button - it will use the same settings that you most recently used on the KeePass password generator dialog.

The KeePass password generator (Tools / Password generator) is a powerful way to easily create secure passwords for any requirements. KeeFox provides a short cut to generate a new password straight from Firefox so that you can easily copy a new password into your clipboard whenever signing up for a new website or service.

KeeFox will always ask KeePass to use the most recently used password generation "profile"; i.e. the same settings will be used for things like the number of characters in the password and the types of character that can be used.

It can be tempting to paste the new password somewhere temporarily while signing up to a new service but for better security you should try to avoid doing that. If you do paste it somewhere, beware of putting it into convenient spaces such as the Firefox search bar because this will result in the password being sent unencrypted over the internet as part of a search autocomplete request.
