2 years ago Hi @fooness,
Thanks for reporting this. We are currently exploring alternative approaches to generating the avatars but as you mentioned randomized colors requires a bit of care to ensure they have good contrasts.
I've attached this issue to our internal issue as additional context.

2 years ago The avatars also appear to be inconsistent across platforms. On web and iOS I see the first letter of the first and last names but on macOS the avatar is the first two letters of the first name.

2 years ago Customization or the ability to completely disable this across clients would be nice. It's fairly useless for single account users.
Steps To Reproduce
Expected Result
Two solutions to the described problem—see
Additional Context—that I can currently think of would be:let the users define custom background colors and initials, and/or give an option to NOT use initials at all, i.e. just a colored background
let the users upload their own avatar/profile images
Actual Result
Hard to distinguish avatar/profile images for different accounts.
Screenshots or Videos
Additional Context
The latest update to Bitwarden desktop, introducing the account switcher and with this the depiction of ”initials” avatar/profile images, i.e. the randomly background-colores two-letter avatar/profile images like e.g.
BI, also introduces design/usability flaws; for example, two accounts could have the same initials and the same or at least hard to distinguish—also think about color vision impaired people—background colors.The same basically also applies to Bitwarden web; also there an option to change the “initial” avatar/profile image is lacking.
