1Password and Time Machine, encrypted external drive
I have a WD My Passport that I use for Time Machine (MBP & Mavericks). I want my backup to be encrypted, and I keep the drive in a safe most of the time.
I attach the drive, and need to enter a password. Is there any way to get 1P to do this seamlessly? It's a bit clunky, mostly to do with Apple's interface. I can't seem to copy/paste the password from 1P into the disc mounting dialog, so I type in a 16 digit password, while looking at it in 1P.
Is there a better method?

Hi, @kent_skinner.
1Password only supports autofill in web browsers. Here's a topic about that:
Feature Request: Saving passwords (system-wide on Mac OS)
So there's no "one click" option for 1Password to enter the encrypted drive password for you. Have you tried pasting any text copied from a different application into the disc mounting dialog?
