Hello everyone,
I would like to suggest a big improvement about the collections management through 3 ideas.
Context (to understand my problems)
- I’m managing an IT company that provides services
- one of my services is outsourcing. It means:
- I have my own passwords (for my own internal tools)
- I have a lot of clients’ passwords
How I would like to work
I wanted to organize my passwords like this:
- collection “MyCompany” (where “MyCompany” is the name of my company):
- it is the main collection
- collection used to store all credentials related to my company (company’s bank, company’s vendors, etc)
- collection “Client1” (where “Client1” is the name of a client):
- to store all credentials related to this client #1
- collection “Client2” (where “Client2” is the name of a client):
- to store all credentials related to this client #2
- etc
Limitations
Today I have some limitations:
- It is not possible to create a collection through a browser extension (I mainly use Chrome but I tried on Firefox too)
- When, for a specific service/website, I have credentials for my own company + X credentials for many clients, I have a long list of suggestion
- When I save a new password, I can choose the collection but there is no search / no filter system to quickly get/find the right one : when you have a lot of collections, it’s tricky
Suggestions
I would like to suggest 3 ideas to improve these limitations:
-
To implement the possibility to create collections directly from browser extension
-
To add a feature that would make a certain collection active
For example:
- I have my main collection “MyCompany”
- I have 20 secondary collections: one per client (“Client1”, “Client2”, […], “Client20”)
The global idea consist to: - be able to define which collection is active at a moment
- when a collection is active, credentials suggested are coming only from:
- the main collection (example “MyCompany”)
- the secondary collection which is active
→ to say it in other words, if I select the collection “Client4”, credentials suggested are the credentials from the collections “MyCompany” + “Client4”
In this idea, we could imagine to develop the concept letting the user decides if it wants the suggestion from the main collection or not:
- a checkbox “always suggest main collection credentials” (checked by default)
- if the checkbox is checked:
- we suggest “MyCompany” + “Client4”
- if the checkbox is unchecked:
- “MyCompany” becomes a collection like any others
- we suggest only “Client4”
- if we want credentials from “MyCompany” we select the collection “MyCompany”
- To be able to filter quickly the list of available collections
For that I suggest to add a textbox in which I can type/write the name of a collection: the list filters automatically as I type
What do you think 
?
Thank you for the attention that will be given to my message
