Extension summary

Partial Password will take some individual characters from a password in the clipboard (paste buffer) and place them into fields in almost any web page.

Many banking web sites ask you to enter three or four characters from your "memorable information" as part of the log in process, such as the second, seventh, and second to last.

This extension quickly enters the correct characters from the clipboard automatically. It works especially well with a password safe, such as SafeInCloud.

It works on nested frame web pages where other extensions can fail.

How to use: Copy the password into the clipboard. Click on the text box or dropdown selection where the first character is required. Enter the code into the Partial Password request field for the characters you need and press enter or click on set.

For the code: Use numbers to indicate the characters in the password you require. You can use -0, -1, -2 to indicate last, next to last, second from last, etc. Use a . or / to separate the numbers or one or more *s. *s can also be placed after the final number. Where a . is used as a separator, you will need to click on the next field on the page and press Ctrl-Insert to insert/select the next character. Where a / is used as a separator, Partial Password will concatenate the characters required into one input field.Where *s are used, Partial Password will automatically skip to the next field and insert/select the next character. Use multiple *s to skip over fields. Don't count disabled (greyed out) fields when using multiple *s. You can also place a + after the final number. In this case the form will be submitted after the final character is placed into the last field.

Great idea. Could do with a UI overhaul to make it a little more intuitive. A context menu on input fields for example.

Perfect for the banking sites that want three random characters from your memorable information.
