UX: Move "Search" to bottom nav?

More of a general UX feedback from a fellow designer.

I’d be curious to know how did you prioritize the bottom nav actions. :wink: Just asking because one of the most clicked items I use the most ( Search ) is far at the top of the UI.

Have you folks considered moving it in the bottom navigation for the new mobile app?

Maybe swapping Send or Generate with Search?

Moving “Search” from the top to the bottom will greatly enhance the UX since the chances someone is searching for existing credentials is quite high.
The bottom nav is close to the thumb safe area making it really easy to reach this very frequent action. I say this because the auto fill on Android doesn’t work all the time on all apps or websites.

Keep up the good work

I, too, would greatly appreciate this enhancement.

Hey! Completely agree with OP.

Of those 4 buttons:

  • send: never used
  • generator: never used (I always generate passw in the Add login flow)
  • settings: used once after installation

The search function I use it multiple times a day. But mostly because the auto complete pop up is unreliable.

@ericuk, I utilize that feature every time I open the application, for reference. There is no alternative “login flow” in any AOSP-based OS I’ve utilized.

Do you not have a Generate icon ( :arrows_counterclockwise: ) inside the username and password fields when you add or edit a new login item?
