|Feature overview=We suspect that current security UI is confusing to users and does not accurately provide them understandable and actionable information that allows them to make proper choices.
|Feature overview=We suspect that current security UI is confusing to users and does not accurately provide them understandable and actionable information that allows them to make proper choices.
Since we have never holistically evaluated the effectiveness of our security and privacy UI, we should do some broad user research to identify shortcomings and design improvements.
|Feature users and use cases=Our UI falls into two main areas:
a) inline: user is notified of some security or privacy relevant event, and (may) want/have to take action
b) task driven: the user wants to perform some specific task such as changing a setting or understanding their situation
Some areas to investigate:
a) context information about the current site ("am I on store.com")
b) is the current site "secure" ("should I enter my password/credit card")
c) historical information ("what information has this site stored on my computer")
d) incident driven ("I read about this security issue and I want to disable a cert/feature/etc")
e) inline warnings (this is a phishing/malware site, this site wants to install an <X>, mixed content, etc.)
Note the above parenthesized examples are not intended to be exhaustive (or even good).
