Feature Request - Password by the number!

Hi

I have a number of web sites which do not allow you to paste in the password.

Each time I login I will get a list of characters in random from my password that I have to enter one at a time.

If I have that kind of website, would it be possible to have a 'special' password type so that when I display the password I get the letter numbers underneath (or on top) of the letter in the password?

As an example

Letter Number - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Password - c X 8 b f £ 3 ! T

By doing this it would be much faster to find the password elements, especially in long passwords like I prefer to use!

    Isn't this already available as a feature? If you select "large type" from the password field dropdown menu you get it displayed on screen with the position number underneath the characters.

    Thanks for the assist, @taylor354! :)

    @Robster, taylor354 is correct - you can do that with the 'large type' feature. I hope that was helpful for you! If you have more questions about that or need anything else, please be sure to let us know. Happy holidays! :)

    Hi

    Large type just makes the letters bigger.

    You still have to count the letters, which with 20 plus letter passwords is still not straightforward.

    Well on IOS anyway.

    @Robster: Ah, since you posted in the Mac category of the forums I think we all thought you were referring to that version. We'll certainly consider adding the numbering to 1Password for iOS in a future version. :)

    Ahh

    Well I did initially write this in the Mac forum as that is where I initially had the problem and tried the solution on IOS.

    Now I have tried on the Mac I see exactly what IO would lie to see which is great thanks.

    BUT I also sign into this type of account on my IOS devices, iPad in particular, so the same solution on iPad would be dynamite! :-)

    Ah, got it! Thanks for clarifying. :)

    Sounds good! I think that would certainly be useful.

    You have my sympathies. Login processes like this are burdensome enough even on a full computer, and managing this on a mobile device has got to be even more troublesome. We'll see if there's something we can do to help in the future. :blush:
