I agree. The use of the Norton Secured badge made me quickly leave the site.
A possible solution:
There's a "Login with Amazon" service that may be what the developer needs to be using: http://login.amazon.com/ http://login.amazon.com/
- martingordon 12y agoAccording to one of the founders, "Login with Amazon" doesn't grant access to a user's Amazon account.[1] If they were using it, there would be no need to ask for users' passwords. 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8070310 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8070310
- ChristianKletzl 12y agoA/B testing showed that the Norton security badge is perceived positively. Does anyone have a different experience?
- dbtc 12y agoI would guess that A/B testing against HN users would provide different results than the general population.
- seanlinehan 12y agoI can't speak broadly, only from my personal reaction. I also left the site after seeing the Norton logo (and before reading the comments here), because it seemed completely misplaced. I associate Norton with cleaning my computer of badware, not of whether or not some just-launched service is treating my data securely. Because it seemed out of place, it felt like it was an obvious tactic to bootstrap trust where there wasn't any. A better icon (for me) would have been a badge from your SSL provider, or even just some well designed lock icon.
- ChristianKletzl 12y agoVery interesting point. The Norton batch is our SSL Batch (Symantec bought them or vice versa). It seems like they need to do a better job of education users about that. I don't think they have a pure "Symantec SSL" batch anymore.
