Bring back the card based auto-fill functionality and change Fill button to Edit

Hi, happy holidays,

In regards to the new update to the browser extension UI, I’d like to please request the Fill button be changed to Edit and then the Fill functionality be switched back to triggering Autofill when clicking on whole of the login card itself.

So in the above image example, clicking anywhere on the Github (login) card will trigger the Autofill of the login forms; aside from the Edit, Copy and 3 dot menu, of course, as those have their own functionality.

Thank you!

Came here to post this. Another change to this section is that ‘copy password’ and ‘copy username’ are now both under ‘copy’ and thus require an extra click to perform their respective functions. Perhaps a small thing to complain about but the old way was better than this and it feels like a significant enough regression (muscle memory really messing with me on this one) to report.

@Natetronn @MarkWater Hi!

There is already “news” to that:

The old auto-fill behaviour (clicking the item that get’s shown as an auto-fill suggestion leads to auto-fill) will get back as an option ([PM-16428] Option for primary click action to autofill on Vault view by kspearrin · Pull Request #12557 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub).

Additionally, if one wants to stay with the new auto-fill behaviour, there are also two changes, probably coming with one of the next releases: On the one hand, the new “Fill” button will become larger ([PM-16102] Add min width on interactive badges by vleague2 · Pull Request #12514 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub) and additionally, the clickable area around that button will get larger ([PM-16102] Increase clickable area for bit-item actions by vleague2 · Pull Request #12450 · bitwarden/clients · GitHub).

That is not necessarily the case, as you can set that back to the old separate copy buttons now: Settings → Appearance → “Show quick copy actions on Vault”

I see the stickied message at the top now. Sorry for missing that one. And thanks for your first reply! Glad to see Bitwarden listening to users (when users are reasonable, I hope!).

Good day to you
