It's a good idea, but a security solution that relies on users noticing when something is absent is not exactly airtight.

It's a good idea, but a security solution that relies on users noticing when something is absent is not exactly airtight.
- blowski 9y agoNo solution is airtight, but if it makes it better for 10% of users without making it worse for the other 90%, it seems like a good idea.
- zwily 9y agoMy guess is that a large % of unsavvy users would put their password in that field, making things much, much worse.
- jclardy 9y agoHuh? How? Those users would be entering in their passwords in the dialogs today. Adding a visual indication of a secure dialog can at least help the power users, while not changing anything for the ones that don't know the difference. EDIT: Oh sorry, I seen what you are saying now - entering password into the phrase field. Instead, just make it an image that the user selects, or even creates.
- UnoriginalGuy 9y agoIt will just be used for blame shifting. "You didn't notice one of the dozen popups asking for credentials lacked your magical hidden phase YOUR FAULT!" If Apple were going to explore a strategy to fix this, they would likely be better off redirecting the user out of the app before asking for credentials, or prompting them in notifications/home screen only.
