Feature Request: Character Counter
Some websites have different password length requirements. For instance, the one I'm trying to sign up for right now requires a PW to be less than 15 characters.
It would be handy dandy if there ...

Hi AliH1P , thanks so much for the response!
So, in my head, I would see several use-cases for this character counter. However, the initial catalyst that got me to think that 1Password could be the ideal platform for this was when I had to create a password that was less than 15 characters.
There are other times that a character counter could come in handy, and for those unique or specific cases I could either
1: open up OneNote - if it isn't already open, and use a macro
2: open up Word, if it isn't already open
3: google search "character counter" and open the first result, and use that...
But, for me, 1Password is always running, and it would be a useful feature to have... not just for passwords, but a feature for several different applications. I could use a keyboard shortcut to bring up 1Password, which is more convenient that opening word, or onenote or a new browser tab that isn't already opened.
I'm aware of the password generator, and the functionality and flexibility it provides. However, for the most part, I generally prefer to create my own passwords.
I added some screenshots, and hopefully this helps to communicate my thought process, and the challenge/problem (which I admit is fairly trivial) that I could see 1password being a solution for.
