Usability issues (UX) in redesigned UI (2024.12.0)

[Nail1684]

@DaleReindeer Hi and welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll just pick some things up.

@DaleReindeer

Specifically with the Browser Extension the names of the items in the vault are much harder to read. […] but now you can barely see the first 5-8 characters. […] Next the incredibly helpful “fill” button for username/password fields is at best 10% of the size it used to be.

I agree, that it is unfortunate, that the auto-fill button and the item title and usernames now compete with each other. Though I think, having a wide and extra wide version may be born out of need - nevertheless, I like it that the new extension is much more customizable.

And as you might have already read, the old auto-fill behaviour is evidently coming back as an option.

@DaleReindeer

The alternative which is to have the fields be present over the username/password fields on the website page itself is even worse as the drop down menu covers the every “login” button that you are supposed to click next.

It sounds like you mean the inline-auto-fill menu. You should be able to close that by pressing Esc - or you can deactivate it altogether (Settings → Autofill → Uncheck “Show autofill suggestions on form fields”) if you don’t need or use it.

astly the extension and the desktop app are mush more buggy. Especially the browser extension. Sometimes it just doesn’t even load.

That sounds like you might experience what is described here Chrome extension takes forever to load UI after authenticating and is extremely slow and unresponsive and seems to get a fix with the extension version 2024.12.3.
