There are a couple of existing feature requests already regarding user interface (UI) consistency.
I’m going to be so bold as to say these do not go far enough.
I see three distinct UIs: The web browser extension (as tested in Chrome), the pop-up window from that extension, and the web vault. All three are quite different right now. Clicking on the URL does not always cause the same behavior, and icons listed next to the URL are different. And in the web vault, we have no icons next to the URL, but clicking on the URL shows us a number of icons with various actions.
Here is what I recommend:
-
One line for each item should be identical in all three UIs. This line should give us the following choices, not necessarily in this order: Autofill, View, Launch, Copy password, Copy username.
-
The order of these choices should always be identical.
-
Each choice should always look the same.**
If a choice is inapplicable, it should be grayed out but still present. Optionally, clicking or hovering on a grayed-out choice may explain to the user why it’s grayed out and how to access it.
I won’t present detailed reasons for the above recommendations, because there is a lot of UI discussion online and it will generally support my recommendations. Briefly, however, the idea is that our brains are least overloaded when things that look the same act in the same way, things that look different act differently, and things are in the same place every time so we don’t have to search for them.
