Experiment #4 – New interface in 1Password.com’s vault view

When you are in a login entry to view / reveal a password, as it is now accessed from a context menu this makes the information further away from being available to see and increases the time taken to get the information (an extra mouse click). The current version of mouse over reveal works much better.

I would add that a tool like this should be designed not to slow down the user from the task in hand that are actually performing (such as authenticating to a system). Access the vault entry needs to be slick, otherwise the users flow is interrupted too much by navigating the vault. This combined with loss of pictographic icons for content type adds further delays.

Thanks
