This window allows you to do this in a convenient manner: In the upper field you enter the positions of the password characters you want for the subset of the password. You can use spaces, commas or semi-colons to separate the positions. The corresponding characters of the password are shown in the lower field. To quit, please use the Esc key.

reference to the entry, typically in another group. This is useful if
you have an entry that "belongs" under more than one group, but you
don't wish to duplicate data. A shortcut has a distinct icon associated
with it, 
,
and by default has the name "shortcut to x", where x is
the title of the original entry. Of course, you can edit the name, move
or delete the shortcut, just like a regular entry.
