Too Many Steps!

The new interface has way too many steps! This is supposed to be a time saver but…
Previously, I had my Identities on the Tab page, so they were there when I clicked the icon. It was literally a two-step process:

  1. Click BitWarden icon
  2. Click Identity
    Done

But now:

  1. Click BitWarden icon
  2. Click Type
  3. Click Identity
  4. Click the little tiny row of dots
  5. Click Autofill
    Done

How anyone thought this would be better, I do not understand.
There isn’t even a Tab page anymore, just an endless list of passwords, none of which I have ever looked for by scrolling. If I’m looking for a password, I’m typing it in the Search box. There is no point in doing it any other way. This is a mess.

Bring back the old way, or at least provide options to make the extension as useful as it used to be.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Restore “Show Cards” and “Show Identities” options in browser extension

Sounds like your christmas present may be on the way:

2024.12.0 was released earlier this month and introduced the controversial new interface.

2024.12.1 was released about a week later, allowing one to re-add copy username, password, totp, buttons next to the “tiny” fill button.
Settings → Appearance → Show quick copy actions on vault.

2024.12.4 was released yesterday and still working its way through the various browser stores. It allows one to enable “click to autofill” instead of “click to view”. And apparently includes autofill identities.

FYI:

  1. You have commented in a closed thread, which is scheduled to be auto-deleted on Jan. 2.
  2. The PR linked in the Reddit thread does nothing to address the problem identified in this feature request post (or in the main feature request topic).

I noticed that. After I had started editing, you moved merged/closed.
I did not move my comment to the new home because it does not fit in the context of “restore show cards”, but it does in this one, which is more “auto fill identities”. As luck would have it, the OP “liked” it, making me realize my effort was not in vain.

Check out the third link; as of 2024.12.04, identities apparently will be part of the auto-fill by default.

If you’re referring to this Reddit post, which references this PR, then it does not change anything related to to the display of Identity and Card items on the Vault page (compared to the current, nonfunctional implementation in 2024.12.3).

If I have misunderstood something, please explain.

Hopping in (and yeah, I also see that it get’s deleted in a few days), but actually I wondered about that statement as well. And the PR, @grb mentioned, is the only change compared to 2024.12.3:

PS: And that PR doesn’t mention any change for identities (or cards) as I see it. :thinking:
