=== Generate Passwords

The KeePassXC-Browser Extension also lets you generate passwords directly in your browser.
This feature can be used for websites with existing credentials as well as for new websites.
You can then choose to update/add the credentials to your KeePassXC database directly from the Browser.

1. Ensure your database is unlocked and configured to use the Browser extension as shown above.

2. Right click on a password field and from the KeePassXC sub-menu choose _Show Password Generater_. The standard KeePassXC password generator will appear.

3. Configure the password generation options and click _Apply Password_ when done. The generated password will be filled into the previously selected field.

4. When you have succussfully submitted the password on the website, a popup will appear asking you to either udpate an existing entry or add a new one.

=== Browser statistics
You can see a cross-section of all browser-related settings applied to entries within a database through the Browser Statistics report. To access these, use the _Database_ -> _Database reports..._ menu option then click on _Browser Statistics_ on the left-hand menu. From here you can see all entries with URLs applied to them, explicitly allowed and denied URLs, and any entries with custom browser settings.
