Possible to Autofill digits of security code?

Hi folks,

To continue a conversation started on twitter, is it possible to autofill security digits as well as a password, as in the attached image? Or is it something you could possibly add support for?

Only two digits are enabled at any one time and they change. The HTML for it is here. I can't post a direct link to it as the password screen is not available without a valid username, and it has the anti-phishing information displayed after that point.

I attempted to let 1Password create a new entry for the site, and the password field only contained one of the security digits, the other 2 input fields were ignored.

Thanks,

David

    Thanks for taking the time to post here, @DavidHutchison‌!

    These sorts of dynamically shifting fields are a tough target to hit. However, you may be able to get it working by viewing the page's source in Safari's web inspector, double clicking the instances of disabled="disabled" class="disabled" and removing it from the disabled digits. Then you can fill in all the digits as well as the other form fields and save a Login item like this:

    Without access to the page it is hard for me to guess if that will actually work or not, but it's worth a try. I wouldn't spend too much time on it if I were you, but if that works…great. :)

    Let me know. Cheers!

    Are these random security digits common around the world? They are present for banks and credit cards in the UK. If they are I have a small usability suggestion for a change in 1Password, if they are not common then ignore me.

    In my credit card entry I have added a Password field (because I want it to be hidden during normal use) under Additional Details. Then I have entered the password with an extra space between each letter so I can easily count when the website challenge says enter the fourth, sixth, and ninth letter etc.

    My suggestion would be to have an additional field with Password properties (so it hides itself) and as you type it in it also displays a number above each digit (perhaps in red or something). So when you choose to display your password it would look something like this:-

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
    & 4 v 9 f A m p U $  F  y  w  p
    

    Obviously it would need to have some sort of auto formatting so the digits appear under the correct number.

    Thanks for listening.

    Unfortunately trying that just resulted in a new entry with a single digit as the password. I give up, I don't log in enough to warrant trying to figure it out.

    I had just hoped it would be supported as each field has the same ID each time for this layout, and there is always the same number of fields on screen. My other bank has 3 combo boxes requiring input like @steve23094‌ describes. I'm UK too. Personally I would prefer they changed to 1 time tokens instead of this extra step, but hey.

    Hi @DavidHutchison‌

    I'm so sorry that this is frustrating for you. I've added your vote and your feedback to the feature request in our internal tracker. I do hope that @steve23094‌'s suggestion of an additional field helps make this Login a bit easier for you. :)
