Enhancement Suggestion: NATO Alphabet option for revealing passwords

Hi, I couldn't live without 1Password. One area I use it is to store passwords for customers for services we provide such as email.

A great addition to 1Password would be to add a NATO alphabet option to the drop down of password fields. This would make reading a password to a customer over the phone a breeze.

Instead of reading out the password: 0asjKfh2B18

and trying to remember the NATO alphabet (usually badly), I could ask 1Password to "reveal NATO" and get:

Zero Alpha Sierra Juliet upper-Kilo Foxtrot Hotel Two upper-Bravo One Eight

  • Hi @froamer,

    Thanks for writing in. That's a really cool idea. As someone who usually remembers about 80% of the phonetic alphabet then get embarrassed when I don't remember that Q is for Quebec and my brain keeps yelling "quarrel, I think it's quarrel!" this would be really useful.

    I would love to see the Phonetic Password option as well. Even just the letters would be good!

    Thanks for letting us know you'd be interested in a feature like that, @Solamar! I can't make any promises of course, but it does sound like it could be a handy feature. :)

    If you need anything else, please let us know.
