When editing a login to regenerate a password, I have to hard press the length slider to get it to move left or right. Swiping right in a login when I just need to copy a password appears to function normally with a light swipe. Thanks for all you do agilebits! 1Password has been awesome and is the best software purchase I ever made. Happy Holidays all and Merry Christmas!

    @spaulding: This drives me nuts too, but I thought it was just me. I think it's a bit different than your description though. I can't say for certain, but I think it seems like a hard press works better because the touch target is small, so pressing harder gives you more finger surface on the screen, if that makes sense. I'm able to do it just fine without preying down, but I agree that it's hard to hit the first time. Thanks so much for bringing it up, and for being awesome! We'll see what we can do to improve this. I hope you're having an awesome holiday season too. Cheers! :chuffed:

    I am on a 4” device and with this issue, I thought, was my problem for being on a small device.

  • @spaulding, @wkleem,

    Thanks for the feedback, we're working on some ideas for a new password generator and this is one of the things that will invariable get fixed at that point. The problem, and reason for the long press is a result of the nesting of scroll views. In order for the OS to know what to do with a slider inside of a scrollview inside of another scrollview you have to force the interaction with the slider to get it to ignore the gesture handling on the scrollviews that enclose it.

    Hi

    In these situations, keep a stylus handy for those fat fingered moments. Which means one more item to take with you.
