Yep, and the horrifically small and close together click targets. Due to its simplicity however, HN is already heads and shoulders above so much of the modern web in its a11y-friendliness.

I've heard omnibar used to describe the more general UX pattern of providing at a focal point a single freetext input that surfaces items across collections. It's a neat pattern because it's both pretty and can be useful. I

Ahh! So saml2aws is authenticating to the same IdP to which you are authenticating in the browser in the first paragraph? Sorry, I thought you were trying to gain convenience by simulating SSO.

The bittersweet aspect of this scenario in my experience, is that time heals some wounds only. With time, the friendship may survive. But it’ll never be the same of course. Neither party will want to revisit the topic of the exit from the

Huh. I'm as big a touchscreen hater as anyone, but they're solid state, unlike the knobs and buttons they replace (and also unlike computer fans). Why do they fail so early and often?

We certainly agree on the importance of making it easy and convenient for the users to behave well. The traditional example here is onerous password requirements that lead to post-it notes. > Still, since workspace admin prompts us to re

As an enterprise cloud software business, I will not allow my systems to handle user-chosen long-lived credentials like the passwords you describe. Sorry, it's too much of liability. Got any other ideas? (sincerely curious)

Article does a decent job of calling out some usability issues with SSO, but doesn't investigate the impact of these usability issues on security. Security and usability are often in tension - if we're going to improve usability,

Hang on, “unwatchable” or “degraded”? Maybe you don’t remember what a brand new VHS tape should look like, but they definitely do degrade steadily over time even when properly stored. Not to say they’re guaranteed “unwatchable”, but definit
