Banking password requires selected characters and is 2 stage process
I use multiple devices (iMac, Macbook Pro, IPad and iPhone) and I'm unsure how 1Password will have access to all devices. Sometimes I might access a site from a user's PC so I can't see how I would retrieve the necessary password(s). I haven't used 1Password even though I'm licensed because I haven't easily found the answer. Additionally, how does 1Password handle a request for, say, a banking password that is two levels and asks for different characters within the password?

You need to sync 1PW across all devices. Since you have 5.3.2, best way is Dropbox. 1PW for iOS is free in its basic form, with an in-app purchase.
From a third-party PC, you would use 1Password Anywhere, which is part of the Dropbox sync.
1PW does not automate choosing specific characters from a password, but various discussions on the forums provide several suggestions for ways of making it easier to see which are the relevant characters.

Hi @rockette,
As danco mentioned, Dropbox sync is a great way to keep your data up-to-date across multiple devices. Here are some supporting links where you can read more about this suggestion:

1PasswordAnywhere FAQ
As an alternative to 1PasswordAnywhere, if you needed to access a saved login to use on a client's PC, for instance, you could read the login credentials from your iOS device and type it in by hand. How convenient that may be would depend on how often you'd need to do that, and how complex the password in question may be, but it's an option to keep in mind.
As for the bank logins you mentioned, this should help a bit:
