Please stop paying attention to Jakob Nielsen.
Password masking, along with asking for a password confirmation, is what everyone expects. Any affected attempt at 'simplifying' that UI without a total transformation (like no accounts at all, not shit like openid) leads directly to anger and disillusionment when their plaintext password is staring them in the face.
Use <input type=password>. Use two of them when registering, and one when logging in. It's a basic affordance, don't fuck with it.
- DTrejo 16y agoHow would you feel if we obliterated accounts completely?
- blasdel 16y agoWell, are they doing anything now? I've been favoriting tracks but it's not clear that it has any effect on what gets played. You're saving the tracks I fave, but then I can't do anything with them except delete them — which should absolutely not use the same heart icon you use for creation. I clicked it thinking it would play that track again, and POOF.
