Research direction

Start by locating the AskDeletePermanentlyEntry dialog and trace where it is shown when deleting a password. Update the wording and action labels to distinguish recycling from permanent deletion, then verify that each choice still performs the intended action.

Description

enhancement

When deleting a password, a dialog is shown that is very confusing. A dialog is shown that asks the question from AskDeletePermanentlyEntry.

Current dialog:
"Do you want to delete this entry permanently? Press No to recycle."

This is technically correct, but very confusing. People are used to not read such dialoges. They are trained since yeras: After I click aywhere, and a dialog pops up, I need just click on "yes" to confirm my choice. And "no" if I want to abort the delete command.

suggestion how to improve:
"Do you like to delete this entry?"
