Browser extension no longer puts web site domain in AnonAddy description when creating username

[jikamens]

Steps To Reproduce

1. Configure username generator in browser extension to integrate with AnonAddy.
2. Generate a username while creating a new login entry for the page you are currently on.

Expected Result

Prior to the recent browser extension revamp it would include the domain name in the description automatically. Now I have to go manually edit it to add it by hand, which kind of defeats the purpose of the browser integration, eh?

This is a really annoying regression in functionality.

Actual Result

When the current browser extension generates an AnonAddy email address as a username, it now just puts, "Generated by Bitwarden," or something like that, in the description of the address on the AnonAddy site.

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Hello @jikamens,

Thank you for reporting this. Are you generating that username from the Generator pane in the extension, or from within the Vault pane whilst creating or modifying a vault item?

Thank you in advance,

[jikamens]

I already answered this question. As I said in the steps to reproduce, "Generate a username while creating a new login entry for the page you are currently on" (emphasis added).

As far as I am able to tell this problem occurs whether I am adding a new vault entry or editing an existing vault entry. In either case, as far as I can tell, the domain of the site is no longer put into the description of the AnonAddy alias created by Bitwarden.

Can confirm this is also the case for the SimpleLogin integration for username/alias generation.
I have confirmed my SimpleLogin setting "Include website address in one-click alias creation on browser extension" - which previously also applied to third-party plugins like BitWarden - is still checked, however generated aliases are random and no longer include the website I am currently on.

Hello,

Thank you both. Yes, this appears to be related to the updated extension UI (User Interface), and is already being looked into by Engineering; I will keep this GitHub report open for external tracking. Please feel free to post additional information, such as screenshots or a screen video recordings, if you wish.

Thank you again,
