Watchtower - Overall Password Strength - TERRIBLE - But which are they????

I do not know why the bands are not clickable to reveal the items from the get go, but I do think that none of you would disagree on how useful that would be.

If so, kindly incorporate this before this is released out to the public.

Right now, I would like that all my passwords are in the Fantastic category as much as possible, since there are some websites that limit my choices so I will have some under lower categories, but, again, why would something like this not be available in a major revision as v8?

I hope we can have a commitment from you on this no-brainer functionality, rather than something like "on our radar". For now, Watchtower is useless, since it only shows me weak passwords. What if I want to know my good passwords that I want to change to Fantastic passwords?

Revision 8.2.0-56.BETA on macOS saves me 1 click for Quick Access, but is still a far cry from 1Password Mini, where if I clicked the icon in the menu bar, I could see all details 1Password has on the current web page I am viewing without requiring any further click.

Going through these forums and the kind and tone of responses the founders are dishing out to paying users, I am sure they have their hearts and minds set on changing some things for the worse in the name of development, but let's not make the product cumbersome to use when it was absolutely not so before.

There have been countless times when I would click 1Password Mini from the menu bar in macOS, as I would remove it from Safari toolbar to save some space for the insane number of tabs I have. Now, I have to keep 1Password in the toolbar to achieve the functionality that Mini provided from the menu bar in macOS.

I truly hope that decision-makers sit back and reflect on their own values and the direction they want to take with design of this amazing password manager that, as of v7, has been nothing but joy to use. Everything accessible in minimal number of clicks. Today, with v8, there are clicks added in a lot of places. Please do look back at the choices in design.

I am not talking of using Electron. Sure, it is taking double the memory version 7 did and I abhor and resent the extra memory usage as well as the decision-makers' thinking that this extra memory usage was okay to inflict on paying customers. It shows disregard towards system resources on devices of paying users, and it hurts me enough to reconsider my subscription when the time comes. But that day is 4 months away, and is another discussion.

This is about Watchtower being gloriously useless - beautiful to look at, but the moment you decide to act upon what Watchtower is showing, you realise you can do nothing unless you want to change weak passwords. For now, kindly incorporate viewing of all passwords from the bands. It would be a wonderful thing to have, and make 1Password more useful since people would be able to see groups of passwords and take action on them as they see fit.
