Usability issues (UX) in redesigned UI (2024.12.0)

Can’t view entire password anymore

Not sure if this is good to add to this post or a separate one, but I love the redesign overall, and really appreciate the ability to move the quick autofill buttons back up to the main page, I missed that when that was gone at first!

My main feedback so far after using it a while is to show the whole password when making the password visible. When I make the password visible, with most of my auto-generated passwords that use passphrases, they easily go off the screen, and when I make a password visible, I am no longer trying to go the route of copy-paste or autofill, I am now down a path of wanting to see the password (personally, for cases where I can’t copy paste as the “password” is going into another device or similar that can’t have BW. So the old functionality of being able to see the whole password without needing to scroll or similar where I can only see partial at a time (and the scroll functionality is difficult, I have found that keyboard arrows are the best typically, but that isn’t the fundamental issue), is problematic from a UX standpoint.

TLDR;
Problem: Can’t view entire password when toggling visibility

Proposed solution: Only when visibility is toggled, make the password field large enough to encompass the whole password so it is visible.

If this is better somewhere else or on it’s own thread just lmk :slight_smile:
