Really? I find this hard to believe, as a dev and internet user. Facebook, instagram, etc have far worse interfaces.

You add the extension, easily add/generate/create/autofill your login info. It's usually as simple as clicking an icon that appears in the relevant field.

The vault UI is horrifyingly difficult.

Also their registration flow is horrendously awful. Try setting up a Family plan where you log out of your personal and log into your family plan and you'll see how frustratingly sticky it is.

Too many buttons and features for such a simple problem. Development is cancer.

Click plus, click password, fill in fields. That's not too difficult, is it? Although that "click password" step wasn't needed before the recent update. I imagine the typical user is just doing that and using the search field. And most would primarily use the extension or mobile app.

I've seen plenty of awful registration flows, so I'm sure that's true. I haven't had to do that for a few years.

yes, I was blown away by how bad it is the first time I saw it.

password management isn't a hard problem (outside of security concerns), why the hell did they end up with that UI?

No, OP has to be exaggerating

I meant out of all the password managers I've used, and I'm not exaggerating.

it's ridiculous that I have to go to the edit page just to copy a password. Neither Keypass, nor LastPass, nor any other password manager I've used, suffers from this.

And the amount of time it took for me to figure out how to create a password and allow others access to it is kind of silly.

But you _don't_ have to go to the edit page just to copy a password.

then perhaps you can enlighten me, because to this day it's the only way I've seen to actually copy the password.
