Description

If it's not difficult to implement, the option to open diceware and generate passwords for whatever use would be great.

The same way KeePassXC allows you to use it without necessarily unlocking your database, it would be great to add it in the left side menu under 'Change database'.

I have downloaded another app just for that because I don't want to unlock my database and open a new entry only to create & copy a password, and it just makes sense to make use of the built-in diceware in the side menu.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing built-in Diceware implementation and the Android left side menu entry for “Change database.” Add an entry point that opens Diceware without unlocking the database, and verify that it can generate and copy a password for general use.
