That's basically the approach taken so far and it hasn't worked. Users don't notice these decorations.
Chrome wants to move away from the "Secure" wording because people don't understand what it means, for example, they think it means they can trust the site not to misuse their credit card details.
- danieldk 8y agoWell, it doesn't help that the text (when clicking on 'Secure') says: Your information (for example, passwords and credit card numbers) is private when it is sent to this site. To the layman this means: Chrome says it is safe to enter credentials on this site (and not that it just means that it is hard to eavesdrop on the connection), especially that because this does not say anything about the trustworthiness of the site.
- nsgi 8y agoHow would you phrase it instead, that would communicate the nuances of the issue and allow the lay user to assess the risk?
