Take a look at the Bitwarden-icon in your screenshot. It is grey. In other words: You are not logged in.

It's broken for me on Chrome as well. I'm not going to reinstall it. I'll wait if they fix it with a patch. This will be a great test whether I should migrate my wife over. Releasing an update like this and then not fixing it instantly is unacceptable.

Problem with password generator - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums
October 11, 2024 - Default options don’t seem to save for me using the PC app. In fact, it defaults to a single hyphen (-) and i need to go through all the preferences, then refresh to get the new password. I’m 99% of the time doing this from the window where I’m creating a new item, but I just tested the generator on its own and the same thing happens.

Password generator popup broken? - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums
December 27, 2024 - Creating a new login or changing a password, an autocomplete popup appears giving you the option to use a newly generated random password. Select it, and it correctly fills the password and password confirmation fields, but it does not copy the password to the clipboard, it does not recognize that new login credentials have been generated, and doesn’t track the password in the password generator history, either.

Context menu password generation ignores parameters - Password Manager - Bitwarden Community Forums
November 12, 2024 - Hi there 🙂 First of all, the issue : When generating a new password using the context menu or the option that sometimes pop under a password field, the generated password uses the default parameters (password, 14 chars, etc.). I’ve been to the Bitwarden extension, clicked the Generator menu at the bottom, and changed the option for "passphrase, 4 word, cap words and addnumber).
