Credit crd and bank log-in

iBozz

<div class="IPBDescription">Random character requests in log-in page</div>Apologies if this has been covered before, but my woefully inadequate searching skills have failed to find it!



Both my bank and my credit card company use the same log-in process where I am asked for three random numbers from my PIN and then three random letters from my password. For example, enter (in a separate field for each character) the 1st, 3rd and 2nd numbers from my PIN and the 3rd, 9th and 5th character from my password - or whatever.



There are two questions here:



1) Is there any way that 1Password can complete those fields for me? I am guessing not as the required characters change each log-in and I can't see how 1Password would know which characters to use; and



2) With those accounts, a strong password is preferable, in fact the stronger the better. However, if I am then asked for the 13th, 43rd and 32nd characters of the 1Password generated password I'd be forever counting my way along the random password and, no doubt, miscounting so many times that I'd lock myself out of my account until the bank freed it again!



Thanks in advance.

1. It's not that difficult to conceive of a theoretical mechanism to do it, but translating it into practice is the difficulty. This has been requested many times, and I'm sure the 1PW people keep it in mind.



2. Keep the password in a secure note, and number the characters, or arrange them in blocks of five, or some similar approach. That should work ok.

Hi, iBozz:



A person asked about this in the other thread and I responded with a tip that might work:

[url="http://forum.agile.ws/index.php?/topic/3619-feature-request-copy-button-for-other-fields-and-137-pwds/page__view__findpost__p__20818"]http://forum.agile.w...dpost__p__20818[/url]



That's something you can do if you want to do the extra work. It would work for some banks that only ask for the same pattern of characters but you can do this for all the characters of the password.



We are looking into adding more *intelligence* to 1Password to be able to handle this but I do not have a timeframe on when we'll have a solution for this.
