Hi everyone. Over the past months we have been working to refresh the browser extension with an updated design. Today I am pleased to make this new UI available as an early preview through our Chrome extension beta channel here.
This Beta extension is a completely separate extension that can be installed alongside the main, production channel extension. Some of you may remember it from when we were testing the Manifest V3 update earlier this year. I recommend that you install the Beta and simply toggle to disable the production extension while testing. You can manage multiple extensions easily through Chromeâs extension management page by typing chrome://extensions into your address bar. Use this management page to toggle availability back and forth between the extensions as you prefer to use/test.
We are releasing this preview in hopes of gathering feedback from you so that we can quickly iterate on the design for its upcoming general availability release. Please provide feedback in this post and/or submit it through out feedback form here.
Thank you for your continued feedback
Known issues/items still being worked on:
Unauthenticated pages (before login)
Old UI still in use
Generator:
Parameters are lost after closing extension
Options not always reflected in auto-generated passwords
Forwarded usernames not available
Vault:
New buttons are not accessible via keyboard
Passwords in view login page do not have custom styling
Login item password history uses old UI
Page transitions:
Page transition animations do not slide in from right / slide out to left
I am delighted to be invited to try this out. Is this topic the proper place to provide feedback? (Iâll prepare some comments in anticipationâŚ) Thanks again
@richb-hanover Yes, this is the correct place to post feedback on the Beta
Thank you for your feedback on the Persist Bitwarden UI and maintain unsaved data issue. Bitwarden is aware of and working to address this issue. The new design does include a persistent âpopoutâ button across all screens to ease the issue in the short term. The full solution we are working on will involve temporarily saving entered data if the extension is closed while creating or editing an item.
I half wondered if that might be the case, yes, running self hosted. Will look into the article. What is the specific feature flag key/value for the new functionality?
Though I generally like it, it feels a bit âunbalancedâ regarding the size of things. Some things are quite large like some fonts and the added spaces feel like it. And other things are quite small, like some other fonts. E.g. the âauto-fill suggestionsâ show only the first (maybe 10?) characters of the name of the login vault item, so that if I have more similar items, beginning with the same word(s), I can barely differentiate between them.
Here one example of the âshortnessâ of the name/title of the entry (but I guess everyone can see this themselves):
Maybe reduce the âauto-fillâ button in height, so that the complete âlineâ above can show the name/title more complete?!
Then I saw, that on the Generator âtabâ, it is wide enough to force scrolling (PS: I meant the horizontal scrolling here! - vertical scrolling is never a problem!). Maybe a result of the translation, producing too long words?!? (GermanâŚ)
And as you can see, âMindestanzahlâ is so long, that ânumberâ (Zahlen) and âspecial characterâ (Sonderzeichen) isnât even readable without the âmouse-overâ.
And yeah, as the caption already states, that the following entries are âsuggestions for auto-fillâ:
⌠that âauto-fillâ button is too big for my taste. An icon is a good idea - maybe something like an arrow⌠âshooting to the browser to auto-fillâ.
Or just one short word like âOkâ or âGoâ. (something like âGo!â could be okay, since this is the âsuggestions for auto-fillâ section and the meaning of âGoâ could be more or less clear to that context⌠otherwise a mouse-over can explain it further)
