The '#' button near the password field was removed a couple releases ago, when I changed the extension to use a page action instead of a browser action, as there was no way to open the page action dialog from JavaScript.

The keyboard shortcut for the page action is configured in the extension manifest: https://github.com/simu/passwordhasherplus/blob/4c267745c8de8dc1210993601b76dc256069c2c5/manifest.json#L39-L43 The shortcut defaults to Ctrl+Shift+3 which maps to '#' on the en_US keyboard layout. You can adjust the shortcut by going to about:addons, clicking the cogwheel and selecting "Manage Extension Shortcuts".

I will update the documentation to include this information for the next release.

It seems that this shortcut conflicts with "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" add-on. If someone uses it, I suggest to set the "Container to open with Keyboard Shortcut 3" to "None" in that add-on.
