Consider adding a caps lock detector.

I was using 1password for team on the web using a Mac with Chrome.

I have a master password with mixed case letters. I did not notice that Caps Lock was and tried my master password many many times. I even pulled out my recovery kit before I discovered what was going on. I suspect I had gotten used to systems warning me about caps lock so it wasn't on my debug list anymore.

I know about:
Previous caps lock issue and how you handle it:

I think you potentially do something like as pointed out by my co-worker.

    It looks like you actually detect it and display an indicator. I guess I had also trained myself to not look at the actual input field.

    @arnolddeleon: That's crazy! I had no idea there was a Caps Lock indicator on the web interface login page either! I guess I too just start typing without looking most of the time, and it's one of those things I might only notice after several failed attempts force me into closer inspection — at which point I'd see it. /facepalm

    I'm glad to hear you got it sorted out. And I learned something new too. Cheers! :)
