🚀 Major 3.0

[XFox111]

What's new

This is a new major update that contains substantial changes to the extension's UI/UX and more! (#224)

✨ Highlights

Refreshed UI

A bit refreshed and clean looking UI. Password is now displayed in monospace font to make it easier to see which exact characters it contains.

New "Quick adjustments" toolbar

Different websites have different password requirements. Now you can set your default password preferences in the settings and easily adjust them if needed. These adjustments will be reset once you close the pop-up.

Goodbye, auto-copy and context menu 😢

Unfortunately, we have to deprecate these features as they were too time-consuming to maintain. But on the other side, that means that we have more time to work on more relevant features instead!
