base64 encoded multiline password support
I was looking for a way to conveniently save multiline secrets (like private ssh keys) in 1password using the 'password' option. The web UI strips newline characters, though, which means when I restore the value later I have to restore the newlines to their original locations. This can be tedious and error-prone.
So, I solved my immediate problem (wanting to securely and conveniently save multi-line secrets) by base64 encoding them (base64 -w 0 < file.asc - or whatever) to create a version without line breaks or spaces. I can live with this for now.
I was wondering if 1password had considered adding a checkbox beside a password to signify that the contents were base64 encoded. This might make it feasible to base64 --decode the contents when accessed (like copying to clipboard or when accessing via the API).

Hi there! I've provided your feature request to the team that manages items in 1Password. In the meantime do either the secure note or document item types provide a work around for your use case?
