Hell, that warning could be helpful even on signups to new sites: “This is your first time visiting this website. Only enter passwords on websites you trust, and don’t reuse passwords from other sites. We recommend you use this securely-generated password:”
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoIdk, I’d get a little nervous extending it too much. Browsers and sites have far too many use-our-new-feature-plz popups. This shouldn’t look like that, or it’s more likely to be ignored. I might keep your first addition but nix the final paragraph, as good a suggestion as it may be.
- nneonneo 6y agoTo be fair, my browser (Firefox) already suggests a secure random password on password dialogs for sign-ups; I believe they are either using the heuristic of "no password saved on the site" or "password confirmation box exists". I was more-or-less simply thinking of extending that particular message.
- pvorb 6y agoFinally a way to know if you should try to reset your password before creating a new account. It sometimes happens that I don't remember I've already signed up for some site and forgot about it entirely.
