A while ago an update added an additional tap to copy a code to clipboard. I thought I would've gotten used to it but it continues to cause me friction. I used to be able to tap on a code and it would directly copy to the clipboard. An update removed that functionality and replaced it with a menu selection which requires a second tap to copy the code to the clipboard. The additional tap is frustrating when fighting with the clock before the code expires. Please reduce the number of taps!

Except for one glaring deficiency, I really like it. The problem is with the UI ... I can't figure out how to replace an entry. (... or delete it so I can add the new one back in.) It's such an obvious use case, it couldn't have been missed in development, so I figure I must just not be seeing it in the UI.

I got completely confused by the UI in this update. You can still get your hardware key via NFC, but the app itself does you no favors in explaining how or giving visual feedback on when it does it. You have to change the settings under "On YubiKey NFC tap" from "Launch Yubico Authenticator" to "Copy OTP to clipboard" or "Launch app and copy OTP". It copies to the clipboard while providing no visuals. Seeing "No accounts" is confusing. This is operation is not OTP, that's misleading.
