Dunno but if you find one, let us know! :-) I've used an app that lets you view your password once you've logged (to the app) in so if I can't remember which character is the 7th, you can see it and count.
I currently use LastPass, largely because it does a good job of synchronising across devices. It'll let me view my password (upon entering my master password) but counting through the letters manually is error-prone when you have a long gibberish password. (And I certainly won't be remembering my passwords!)
Makes no sense from an internet banking POV, but from a telephone banking POV, it does.
Agreed but there's no reason for the two to be the same. A leak of password data that was only useful to people ringing the call centres would be a lot harder to exploit than passwords that can be used online. It also means that someone somewhere at Santander can view my password in clear text if they choose to, albeit that it's probably not someone in a call centre.
