Is there any way to copy the password suggested by BitDefender password manager?
When providing a password to logon to a new site, Password Manager has a useful feature to generate a strong password for you - BUT I DON'T use it! Because I can't find a way to copy the password to clipboard, and password manager doesn't always recognise the logon and offer to save it, which then leaves me with a new logon which I don't have a record of the passord for - my only option is to immediately reset the password.
At least if I could copy the password to clipboard, I could set it up in Password Manager automatically if PM fails to recognise the logon. Better still, it should automatically copy to clipboard.
This is one of a number of issues I have with PM.

Hi Ettery,
Welcome on the forum !
You could suggest your proposal on the thread below:
A little bird tells me the real issue is "if PM fails to recognize the logon", well...
I do not use Password Manager, so I let experts answer you.

Hi Ettery,
Is the visible generated password the good and last one ?
I cannot believe my eyes!
I would take a picture to paste it on a brand new sheet... wouldn't I ? [
and sell it at Sothebys (if the art dealer is keen on contemporary art)]So I keep the password.
Cheers,

Sorry to all, I do not use password manager.
My apologizes to Ettery, I was serious when I talked of making a picture (after all, it is what I did to put my box's serial number in my directory) of the visible password. OK it needs then to implement manually a great number of figures.
Have a nice day!

@Gjoksi No offense taken here - I think it's valid to highlight the posting of a password which might accidentally be the one in use - it happens often on forums and public code repos.
@Liobet I could screenshot the image each time I guess, but it would be far smother just to have the password placed in the copy buffer in case of need...

i have had this same issue you have described i.e. "password manager doesn't always recognize the logon and offer to save it, which then leaves me with a new logon which I don't have a record of the passwords for - my only option is to immediately reset the password"
The solution that has worked for me is to use the Generate Password option, after you generate a password you can click on it and will copy the password to the clipboard, upon which you can manually edit associated account.
This issue also occurs when changing a password, I believe to be a bug in their software.

I'm very dissatisfied with the password generator from Bitdefender. The password generator is very poor if I can't copy the password. How do I add it to the "confirm password" block when I'm opening a new account. Also, I want to be able to put it in my password file and be able to use it when the Bitdefender program doesn't come up - and that will happen.
