Description:
I am using Ente Auth version 4.4.15 on Windows.
In previous versions, the desktop app consistently displayed 2 columns for 2FA codes. After the update, the layout has changed to a responsive grid that dynamically switches to 3 or 4 columns depending on the window width.

Why this is an issue:
This new layout makes the screen feel cluttered ("so many items appear in the screen at same time") and harder to see and select quickly compared to the previous clean 2-column layout.

Suggested Solution:
Please add a view option under Settings to:

  1. Allow users to lock the view to a specific number of columns (e.g., "Fixed 2 Columns").
  2. Or provide a toggle to disable the auto-responsive grid.

Environment:

  • OS: Windows 11
  • App Version: 4.4.15

Version

v4.4.15
