Same names and different folders could use some UI enhancements

This is actually both applicable to IOS and Chrome plugin.

If I go to a category I might have a few entries under server which are the same e.g. NAT or Authentication Server. Yet I have no idea what folder they belong to unless I dig into the move folder.

Additionally in Chrome plugin if I have multiple logins for site and those logins are under different folders. Example "Root AWS Login" when I go to the page all I will see are multiple entries of "Root AWS Login" but I don't know which one this belongs to.

There should be some sort of indication (perhaps smaller font or expanded name) so that you can tell which folder the entry actually belongs to. It almost defeats the purpose of having folders to categorize similar data if you have no idea what the entry actually belongs to until you click on it.

    Hi @DaveFL,

    I see what you mean; in iOS, on a items details page it will show the tags but not the folder.

    I would like to clarify though where you want to see this information, is it just on the details page in either iOS or the extension or are you asking for this in one of the lists?

    Can I just ask, have you used our Organize tab at all? it allows you to navigate by folders or tags. Now it might not be what you're after for particular reasons, it's just the when submitting a request it helps you if we understand why the change is being asked and how whatever we already have doesn't work for our users.

    Just to summarize:

    • Organize Tab is obviously good as I know what folder I'm in
    • Category is bad as you have no idea what folder the item belongs to if they share the same name + category
    • In Chrome Plugin if I go to single website that has multiple logins and those logins have the same name e.g. Account Management. Both are displayed in the first N entries of the plugin. I need to go into the folders to know what is what.

    I'm by no means a UI expert but it would make sense to have some sort of idea what belongs to what without having to dig deep or trial and error. On IOS this might be the folder path in smaller font (when in Categories), on Chrome this might be a hover that displays this or auto expand the entries when there are duplicate names.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I can definitely see how having that sort of information at a quick glance could be very helpful for folks who organize their data with folders.
