LastPass folders no longer show in LastPass dropdown in Chrome toolbar.
If you go to your vault > "Advanced Options" > "Use improved save and fill" and toggle it off you can use the old toolbar. Thanks again for the feedback.
The way I set it up I had separate folder for each organization. Suddenly it is all one mixed list of unfamiliar labels with no association as to which organization, it's a huge mess and royally messed me up.
We're always evaluating what will work best for our customers and welcome the feedback on this change. With the new experience, the best way to find your records in a certain folder would be to search for that folder name in the search bar at the top. That will show all records inside that folder. If you need to refine it even further you can enter multiple search terms separated by spaces. So you could enter the folder name first, a space, and then enter anything else you want to search for inside of that folder.
If you could share any more details about why you like the folder view better, that would help us evaluate whether or not to bring it back. Thanks!
Also when i type name of a folder in search bar lastpass doesnt pull ANY folders. only one consolidated master list of all password entries which is very long and difficult to find anything. no folder names appears on the list.
Thanks sooooo much! Back on bandwagon now!
Hello? I need my folders back.
@andrew735The applicable _LIST!_ of accounts for that site should always be in the ID/pwd dropdown, context menu, and menu bar icon!!! Always!!!!! First thing!
Sometimes an auto-search is great. I have several library accounts (multiple jurisdictions), all of which have accounts with multiple overlapping vendors. I spent ~20 hours trying to implement this with advanced LP features with little success. Typing 4 characters ("libr") and picking from the autoreducing list is handy and quick. Picking from the Library folder is almost as good. Neither of these works very well for multiple Microsoft Windows accounts (some using non-MS IDs) plus more old or specialized msn/HoTMaiL/outlook/live email accounts, some of which I only use once or twice a year to keep alive (e.g., a security recovery email or an otherwise inactive one associated with a site that doesn't let me change the email without creating a completely new non-grandfathered or no-history account).
Also, I find it much, MUCH less memory intensive to pick from a list then to have to remember many dozens of sites that I may only visit once or twice or not per year. Oft times I may not even quite remember the exact name, but will recognize it. Sometimes search is useful, sometimes visually scanning is better. For folders (and other organization), partially because of LP evolution over a decade and partially both my own inconsistency and procrastination, my folder structure is a mess and I haven't converted most old entries into new templates, but I can scan folders, accounts, secure note titles, etc., visually and find what I need.
I have found that most developers have pretty a pretty good memory and instant recall -- otherwise they wouldn't be coding. My instant recall memory is not what it was at 35 years ago. Sometimes I need a prompt to get there -- or at least a prompt is much faster than struggling with recall. Sometimes all I need is a context to help with recall: seeing a folder name is enough to help with recall.
I also wonder if you have adequately considered users who use keyboards without always shifting to a mouse or touchscreen? The keyboard I'm using this instant even has a context menu key next to the right control key! I mostly don't use autofill, so I would like to be able to hit CM-key, L-key (as many time as necessary), return, etc.. Sometimes this works; sometimes L (repeat as necessary) does not take me to LP.
I'm reminded of designing a series of apps where the boss did every menu item with a mouse, while most of her staff preferred using shortcut and arrow keys the vast majority of the time. We had to allow for both.
I'm also reminded of an early experience (MS-DOS) where an expensive specialized consultant color-coded important information (some showing mode) into fields and labels, sometimes with inverse color. We had a multiple loud arguments about the design because I'm moderately red-green color blind and very sensitive to flicker (old CRT problem). The form was fairly complete functionally by the 3rd iteration and the 1st iteration was attractive and useful for him and the 2 women on the team, but both were hard to use, headache inducing, garish (poor colorblind design standard: text in inverted red field on a CRT just hurts), or some combination for some of the rest of us. He also missed some a couple of critical use cases.
Or perhaps you can relate to the innovative but misguided Win8 (also hurt by the incomplete product released a year too soon, although that did help reorient development sooner). Some of this design feels like those.
@andrew735 Perhaps LP could add a single line, "Folders >", to the new default menu icon layout. That will provide ready access to the folder structure using minimal space and leaving plenty of room for the search results. Expand Folders on either click or mouse hover. Bonus: option to always expand Folders.
I like the improved actual search feature itself, but the new design breaks too much.
I feel like this was an early beta release with incompletely implemented(!) and missing features.
The "use improved save and fill" option is no longer there; how do I assign a password to a folder?
