It's made doubly annoying by the fact that there's a button to open the popup in its own mini-window, which allows you to go back and forward to that window, copy/pasting all the 'stuff' you need. If you open the popup menu and need to copy/paste/refer to more than one piece of info from it you have to go back each time and re-open the menu, then the sub-menu, to re-find the saved info and copy the next item. I've been using Bitwarden for ages now and this drives me insane. I've actually brought up this topic and usually this is not controversial at all and simple to resolve.Īgreed. just raising the topic with their PMs or just implementing things correctly to begin with. Developers not caring enough to do anything about this unprompted by e.g. They probably don't even use a password manager themselves. So, they don't notice when it doesn't work. Non technical people like designers and product owners tend to be a bit sloppy with their own security and they won't necessarily even be aware this is a thing that they need to worry about. Not having password managers on the radar as a thing that the UX MUST support (not optional).

There are a few more things you need to think about.

Having a login form but then not using field names like 'email' and 'password' that a password manager would recognize as such. There's no need for that regardless of the UX. But why do this at all? Having to click the fill button twice is ugly and should be flagged as a bug if you ever see that. There are ways to do this and not break password managers. Splitting the email and password form across two screens. But you have to know how to name things so that password managers can do their magic.įrequent mistakes caused by essentially ignorance on this front: It's not that hard even we did that for our login form. If they'd make this a hard requirement, it would happen. Product owners and UX designers seem to ignore aligning their signup and signin UX with obvious requirements for enabling people to use a password manager. That's because web developers are not great at sticking to conventions and standards for this stuff.
