You can respect Signal team, and still don't deny that this forced habit-building is UX anti-pattern. Which doesn't make sense anyway, because majority will not accept increased discomfort it creates, and minority which values security more do use pw managers.
- pas 6y agoIs it though? I use a password manager. I recently found out that I had saved the PIN for my Signal account into it, but since it was never integrated with Signal I immediately changed it when I needed Signal later and I even forgot I had set up a PIN. Sure, that doesn't mean there is/was no better way to make this change. To provide more options for users, etc. I'm simply saying that the PIN prompt worked for me over the last months (I successfully memorized it), and now with the new UI it prompted me to fill it with Keepass for Android. (And that's how I found the old PIN in Keepass.)
- fidelramos 6y agoI was literally agreeing to that an advanced opt-out would make sense, but I disagree that it's a priority for the initial release. I think the majority of Signal users will tolerate the discomfort.
