No no, sorry - I wasn't clear enough. Let me clarify.

Transcribing passwords off my phone is always available as a last resort (most commonly used at the terminal in the datacenter, so extremely rarely). Almost all password entry is autofilled (via browser extensions) or cut/pasted from the 1Passwrod app.

"command-slash-return" - also needs my password safe passphrase (unless I've entered it in that last 5 mins and the machine hasnt slept or entered screensaver mode).

My phone is only one of devices with synced copies of my password safe data.

The only "limit" I've ever felt I've had since getting properly invested in using 1Password is that I now occasionally waste time having to "back down"from my default 16 random char passwords when somewhere won't accpet that length or charset.




Well, in cases where you can't (or don't want to) install browser extensions it is an astronomical limitation.

Even without the cases of your phone being stolen/lost/battery-empty the hassle is just waay too much to even consider it.
