Hi,

Just whacked this together as I was fed up of doing countless finger counting to work out characters at positions x,y,z in my 20 character online banking password.

Very simple but maybe it will be useful to someone else :) If you have a long secure password for banking or similar services that request characters at specific positions, it may be useful to you.

I just directly copy a password out of the KeePass password manager and get the requested positions nice and quickly.

If you have a huge password I can't see it being quicker using your fingers. Mine is pretty long but due to it being one of my special "oh crap what if I need to use it and I don't have my password manager handy" passwords that is complicated but memorable.

Smaller passwords are probably quicker by eye.

Yer that's mainly why I made it, for long an non-memorable ones. Also I have 2 monitors, so I can just click an icon on the second screen and it's significantly quicker for me at least.

Less brainwork *** :)
