What if the log-in asks for certain characters from the password, not the whole password?

Many banks nowadays, for instance, ask for only certain characters from a password. Can your software cope with that?

    Hi @axellotl,

    In the upcoming 1Password 6 version of Windows, we will have support for Large Type. You'll be able to use it to see the characters in numbered slots to log in with your bank. Here's what it looks like in the latest beta:

    Right now, the 1Password extension won't be able to figure it out on its own, the main reason is that many banks randomizes the field names for each input box, so we don't always know what character it is asking for. Instead, we'll present the Large Type window for you, it'll stay on top while you type in the characters for the bank. You can then click on the floating window to dismiss it.
