I'd read the thread on hacker news, and then, a few weeks later, I bought something at a very niche site. There was a checkbox that said "Remember me everywhere". Even though I'd recalled the discussion here, I was afraid to check the box because it's so vague. Remember me why? And literally "everywhere," really? It wasn't clear that I wasn't opting in to some new kind of advertising tracking or location spyware service.
Anyways, Stripe made the right choice here.
- pc 13y agoWhat do you think of the explanation that appears when you select it? (Feel free to email me if that's easier; patrick@stripe.com.)
- Timmmmbob 13y agoNothing, because I didn't check it and see an explanation (you need a little "?" icon, or at the very least an instant-tooltip).
- lachyg 13y agoWe're actually testing a variant that does exactly this.
- bagels 13y agoI didn't check it because I didn't completely know what it did. I mean, I could guess what it probably did (write a session cookie on stripe's domain). It wasn't obvious that I'd have to make the decision (check the box) before being given the information needed to make the decision. UX is not easy :(
- TheCoelacanth 13y ago"Remember me everywhere" sounds kind of sketchy. I would be less suspicious of something like "Remember me with Stripe" because at least it would give some indication of who exactly is storing my information.
