classic exension lifespan?

Hey @Zander_venn:

Thanks for your detailed feedback.

As someone who uses the standalone app a lot (as a developer I often need to access passwords outside of the browser) I hate that the old shortcut has changed, but I guess I can get used to that

This is something I definitely understand. If 1Password in your browser has been integrated with the 1Password desktop app (so they share a lock state), the fill shortcut you have configured that works with the classic extension should be working with the newer extension. If this isn't the case, I or one of my colleagues would be happy to dig into it further with you.

I really dislike that the vaults dropdown had gone in the browser extension, occasionally i find it useful to see what is in a particular vault. Now the experience is fragmented (the desktop app is different from the browser extension) I can't just use them interchangeably.

similarly I dislike the space in the UI that is taken up with the 'favourites' dropdown. The 'type' dropdown it shows is of no use to me - would much rather see vaults here.

As we unify the behavior of 1Password across various platforms, we're thinking about ways we can improve this here. Nothing to share just yet, but stay tuned! :smile:

I detest the way the password field appears attached to the field in the browser. It blocks things in the UI and is intrusive. Especially the way I need to clear it when I know I want to use the password reset, because it's in the way of the button I want to press (eg wordpress login screen).

As you mentioned above, it is possible to turn off the autofill menu showing on field focus from settings (right click the 1Password icon in your browser, choose settings, disable the option "Show autofill menu on field focus").

I dislike the way it asks me to save the password at the point of entering, before submitting, that doesn't make sense - as you don't know if the password your entering is correct at that point. The old journey of asking after clicking submit made much more sense. The new UX leads to much more clicking and frustration. This is really the biggest issue for me (and people I know - see story above!)

This is something we're still exploring. I've added your feedback to our internal issue on this.

I dislike the way it nags me to use smart passwords all the time - often suggesting a garbled password when a memorable password (my preferred choice) would work fine. It doesn't remember my preference either, or give me the option to change the method in the auto suggestion box.

The default password can be set by opening the password generator:

After opening the password generator, choose the type of password you'd like as default, then enable "Use as default for suggestions":

We wouldn't be here without feedback from users like you, so I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to elaborate here.
