The UI update looks great - however the font change is causing confusion for me.
Telling whether a character is 0 or a capital O is extremely difficult with the new font. This is the biggest pain point for me. Consider a password like this:
O0nrnm0lI1lI0dbqb100!
For a text-based platform, used to manage data that is often meant to be unintelligible - I would think a highly legible font with pronounced features would be of a high priority, avoiding these ambiguous characters.
Even if it’s just simply adding the slashed 0 (though I also think that adding a capital I with crossbars would be helpful) this update would help many of the users.
I agree that this is a critical design error in the new UI, and I raised this issue as feedback already in the beta testing.
Here is a screenshot that compares the previous font (which even had color coding for letters and symbols!) to the redesigned font (in which the characters are indistinguishable):
In addition to providing distinct shapes for different characters, the original font had the benefit of being slightly smaller in size, and having a lower aspect ratio — both of which contributed to ability to view longer passwords without having to scroll using the → key.
