Version 1.15.2

Your list, arranged your way

Right-click any account for everything you can do with it. Create groups, move many accounts at once, put the groups in your order, and pin the accounts you use most to the top.

Right-click an account and choose “Move to group”. The same menu pins it to the top.

How it works

1Right-click an account — or press the menu key on it — and choose “Move to group”: pick a group, “No group”, or “New group…” to name a new one.
2To fill a group in one go, press “+” at the end of the group strip, name the group and tick its accounts. Or choose “Select” in any account’s menu, tick more, and move them together.
3Drag a group’s chip to put the groups in your order, and right-click it to rename or delete it. Deleting a group keeps its accounts — they move to “No group” — and every change can be undone from the message that confirms it.

What stays on your computer

A group says something about you — “Crypto”, “Work — Acme”. So here is where groups are kept, and what leaves your computer.

Kept with your accounts

A group’s name, its place in the strip and a pin are fields of the account itself, stored on your computer with the rest of it. There is no separate list of groups anywhere.

Encrypted when you set a password

With password protection on, those fields are encrypted with everything else in the account, so a copy of your browser profile does not show which groups you have. Your own export files bring them back, too.

Our server sees a number

The daily check-in now says how many groups you have — a number, never their names, never which accounts are in them.

A group never deletes an account

Deleting a group, renaming it or moving accounts only changes which group they are in. The accounts and their codes stay, and Undo puts every account back where it was.

The group edits are a few short functions in one file: read it on GitHub.

Also in this release

Keyboard: type to search and press Enter to copy the first match; the arrow keys walk the list, and Enter copies the account in focus.
Moving from another app: Proton Authenticator exports now import directly, and 2FAS “.2fas” files can be picked in the import dialog. “Add account” now links to the import at the bottom of both tabs.
The group strip scrolls with the mouse wheel when there are more groups than fit, and a long group name shows in full on hover.
When the page has no QR code to scan, the extension now offers two ways out: scan the code on your phone with the camera, or type the key.
A message repeated counts up in one place instead of piling up over the list.
The daily check-in also says how the list is shown (normal, compact or hidden) and which operating system Chrome runs on, and counts how sharing by link is used — never the account, the label or the link. The full list is in the README.
No new permissions. Still no host permissions and no content scripts.
