Bitwarden Beta

• [X] I'm using the new native Bitwarden Beta app and I'm aware that legacy .NET app bugs should be reported in bitwarden/mobile

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set up entry with Password which has character I and l.
2. Look at it.

Expected Result

Bitwarden use a "good" font like monospace font to distinguish the similar characters like I and l.

Actual Result

It's difficult to distinguish l and I.

• [X] 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.

I believe this is not a feature request, but rather a regression compared to the old .net app.

The feature request on the forum (forum link not working, btw.) seems to be about the font used in non-hidden fields (username, notes etc.), where no color-coding is used.

I see a regression in the password field, as well. Distinguishing 0/O is not easy, since the line in the 0 is not displayed any more and the colors are a lot less noticeable. Furthermore, I and l just have slightly different heights, compared to different shapes (straight line vs curve) in the old app.

I cant find the "vote" option on the forums, but believe, although monotype might not be needed or wanted for text fields, a more accessible font should also be used those fields

Judging by those screen shots this appears to be a large usability regression.

Hi Everyone,

This is indeed a regression and has been escalated for further investigation. Apologies for the misinformation earlier.
