Why does Lockwise show my usernames and number of characters in passwords?

When I enter my master password all my user names can be viewed and the number of characters for each password is indicated. I don't remember being able to see either on the old Password Manager.

Hi

I believe that this is done to help you to make longer and more complex passwords.

Outrageous. In no way should the number of characters be discerned, let alone my username be viewable.
