Concerns About 1P 8 for Mac from a Web and Software Developer
So I briefly tried 1P 8 and then noped right back to 1P 7. Here are some of my concerns, I hope they are fixed before general public release:
Mini. This is how I use 1P daily. Seems that 1P Mini...
@chadseld, you know, another point re my original comment on biometry especially regarding Quick Access: Not only does the main app window open to manually allow clicking the biometry button, which is annoying enough. It does a few other things that should be fixed:
- It stays open, instead of hiding again and revealing Quick Access. This is where it is a massive step back from Mini. Mini automatically initiates biometry, and does it all within itself, to leave the main app "closed" and take you where you want to be
- By using the main app, it puts 1P 8 in the "recently used" apps in the Dock. This is also annoying, and a reason to not require that the main app get invoked at all.
Another thing I realize Quick Access lacks: Generating passwords. I sometimes need passwords for things that are not in a web browser. For example, ssh key passphrase, GPG key passphrase, passwords for other apps, example strong passwords, etc. Mini gives easy access to the password generator for these uses. I can't seem to get to this in Quick Access, which seems designed only for retrieval, not as easily for creation.
