Bitwarden Browser Extension UI Design Refresh - Early Preview Now Available

I’m pretty sure Bitwarden of all companies knows the compact version of a product should increase the information density by more than literally a dozen of pixels, Grb :slight_smile:

I’m not part of the Beta program so pardon me if I should not be posting to this thread… but the comments so far scare me, frankly.

Please (BW) keep this in mind - just because you can do some fancy UI eye candy, does not mean that you should.

It’s everytime there’s a revamp

What eye candy scares you? If you are able to describe your fears in words or pictures and with a bit of precision, Bitwarden might be better positioned to take action.

This is an open beta. Fee free to install it, take it out for a test drive and offer specifics about what you feel could be done better. The only real trick is to only have one extension active at a time (so it is easy to tell who is doing what).

I, for one, am happy to see Bitwarden accepting feedback regarding spacing/padding, such as changing the word “autofill” to “fill”, and introducing compact mode as an option. I also remain hopeful for “saved searches” and “sort by” to further increase our ability to make it work well for our own individual preferences.

I strive to be more of a glass-half-full guy (its a work-in-progress). In this conversation, I see Bitwarden actively soliciting feedback, users responding constructively, Bitwarden reviewing everything and incorporating that which fits-in. This is a much welcome improvement compared to my much bigger and (as they call themselves) “important business partners”.

All good points, and perhaps I was taking a less-than-positive approach. And you’re correct in that it seems Bitwarden is taking the feedback seriously which is good to see.

So this means that I need to click on potentially several password posts just so I can see what system the password is for.

I know that the URI field is there to help sort stuff out, but that only works in the browser extension and with browsers. If I need a password for remote desktop or an ssh-session I’m going to look/search manually.


Which one of these is the admin for my Confluence instance and which is for our Ticket system?
