Hide the "You are logged in as [e-mail]" on the browser plugin when locked

[tkrwarden (TKR)]

EDIT: Option to hide email reference from the UI

Feature name

• Hide the “You are logged in as [e-mail]” on the browser plugin when locked.

Feature function

• Currently, the BitWarden plugin displays the most recent logged in e-mail address when locked
• It displays the full e-mail address, which is a privacy concern and should not display the full address
• This can be changed to using a format like “a*****@g***.com” which protects privacy more

This is a duplicate of the request linked below. In that thread, @tgreer had suggested that Bitwarden was considering implementation of an account “nickname” that would be displayed instead of the full (or redacted) email address. I think that would be the best approach, since it can be fully customized by each user according to their preferences.

Option to hide email reference from the UI

The Firefox Bitwarden extension displays the e-mail address of the user both when signing out, and more importantly when signing in. This seems like a very simple security threat to fix, that should not have existed in the first place. If users want the extension to show their e-mail address, I could see where that would be a “New Feature” request, but the way it works now is a bug/vulnerability/dangerously lazy design. When can we expect a fix?

Right you are! Good spot - I didn’t see that when I searched.
