Thank you Dave - I have noticed this on different sites over time - sometimes I allow1P to save the password it generates and at other times I have copied and pasted. My most recent experience was yesterday when I had to create a new password for Royal Caribbean which I allowed 1P to generate it as a smart password with 19 characters. I don't remember if I allowed it to save or I copied and pasted.
And a related question maybe you know the answer to: The reason I had to create a new password for Royal Caribbean is because it stated my password was incorrect when I tried to sign in - which it was not, as it was saved in my 1P. I find this happens every now and then on different websites where it says it is incorrect (and it is not), so I have to say "forgot password" and create a new one. Why does this happen? It is annoying that they tell me my password is wrong when I know it is correct!
