[IxDA Discuss] Security question: plain text entry or masked?
Hi all, I'm reviewing an account creation page that contains username, password, confirm password, a drop-down selection for security question and a plaintext box for entering the security answer. It's my gut feeling that the security answer box should also be masked just like the password entries, although this would then require another confirmation box. A quick Google on the subject did not turn up any definitive answers so I turn it over to the wisdom of the list... thanks Anthony Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Security question: plain text entry or masked?
Thanks Caroline. This is for creation of an online account at a major NA wireless provider. The account would contain most of that person's personal information, so I consider it high security, perhaps just below that required for online banking. Since it is for a wireless provider, there's a good chance they may be using a mobile device to enter this information. My gut reaction was that b/c of the sensitive nature of the personal information, my expectation was that this info would be masked.

Jakob's piece talks about mobile, in particular, and there are certainly major issues in trying to put an accurate password into a mobile device. To give just a few factors: inadequate keyboards, small screens, awkward contexts, possibility of being overlooked. What I'm not yet seeing is much consideration of what I call 'relationship' issues. In this area, those would include the reason why the user is creating/entering the password, the relative importance of this security compared to the value of what lies behind it, and so on. So coming back to your question: what sort of account is being created? Are users likely to be feeling especially sensitive for any reason about the personal information or whatever they will divulge to the account? Or especially casual? Are they likely to be shoulder-surfed? Or using a mobile? What do they expect to happen on a site of this nature? Broadly, the plain text echoing is likely to be reassuring for a mid- to-low importance site that is used in (mostly) private circumstances. If it's a high-security site or is likely to be used in public circumstances, then keep as much private (i.e. masked) as you can. And try to get some users' views on the matter, preferably by getting them to try a prototype.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] City experience
I saw the following article in Slate on roundabouts (and the cultural aversion to them in the US) which may provide some starting points for you; the hyperlinks are very good as well. http://www.slate.com/id/2223035/ roundabouts are safer than traditional intersections for a simple reason: By dint of geometry and traffic rules, they reduce the number of places where one vehicle can strike another by a factor of four. They also eliminate the left turn against oncoming traffic—itself one of the main reasons for intersection danger—as well as the prospect of vehicles running a red light or speeding up as they approach an intersection to beat the light. The fact that roundabouts may feel more dangerous to the average driver is a good thing: It increases vigilance.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] City experience
Reading your questions again, you're really asking the kinds of things that would be taken on by an urban planning department; which would have most likely people who specialized in urban land use planning (public spaces and design requirements/restrictions on private spaces) or an urban transport planning. Generally urban planners have at least an undergraduate degree in geography and a masters in urban planning. A city or council would probably not hire you to do this kind of work, although they may see some use in having someone look at human factors and visual design / wayfinding elements of such things as signage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_planning On 21-Jul-09, at 3:29 AM, Rob Epstein wrote: Has anyone provided UX / usability services to a city or local council, regarding: - Road / sidewalk design and maintenance - Road signs - locations, standards, maintenance - Navigation signs - to local sites, main roads, points of interest - Traffic calming - Pedestrian crossings - Shared spaces - and in general, how to make cities more walkable, safe, and a great place to live.

Agree with many who like the more ambient, less vocal type approach, personal faves are American Analog Set, Laika and of course Sigur Ros, but also enjoy a good dose of Jose Gonzalez or Cat Power if in the mood for vocals.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Using qualifying questions to create a semi-walled garden?
Thanks all for your comments on this, it's been a busy few days and the IxDA list does not like my webmail app, so haven't been able to respond. Does anyone know of actual hard data as to how much dropoff extra steps/questions cause within a purchasing flow? Although this is not a strict e-commerce flow, I'm thinking that they are going to shrink their initial pool of customers looking at these products by something approaching 10-20% by having this extra page. I've tried Googling this kind of data but no luck so far. thanks Anthony On 17-Feb-09, at 7:42 AM, Adrian Howard wrote: Marketing is pushing for a qualifying question up front that will determine which product you are shown (i.e, you will not be shown the other product). Why? Do they have reasons why they prefer that method? Is, for example, having users of product A being aware of product B a bad thing? Have they found it an effective sales technique? Something else? Essentially it comes down to: Product A is more profitable, so they want to promote that; Some users are not eligible for either product (and some can't get both) due to technical and/or geographic limitations and they would prefer to not create unmet expectations by promoting a product that the user may not be eligible for (this seems to weigh very heavily on their value scale). We are pushing for an open site that will promote both products, and give the users the ability to choose, and do qualifying as the first step in ordering. Are you going to get some users being annoyed by only discovering they can get A when they had their heart set on B when they get to ordering? This is a possibility, and the one Marketing seems the most concerned about. The qualifying info may or may not be able to be stored in a persistent cookie; so the UX might be really awful if you come back and the site keeps asking you where you're from (plus other possible questions). If you're forcing the user to make the same decision multiple times that's going to be bad. Whether that decision is a pre-qualification question - or figuring out whether product A or B applies to them. the current solution being proposed by Marketing is that the index page to this whole product section -- imagine hiding a whole product vertical behind a qualifying interstitial -- will have both the qualifying questions AND a button that says I just want to look around or something to that effect. This button would then take them to the kind of experience that I am proposing. The size of this button and it's placement is my next battle -- IMO this button should take up 98% of the screen (j/k). While I suppose not as bad as having the whole thing as a walled garden, this means that users will have to go through this extra step, PLUS we will have to do the development work to create both the walled and non-walled experiences. I've also confirmed that we are not able to store this data on a cookie -- the user will have to go through this step each time they come back to the site. Besides the argument of user control over system control, can you think of any other angles to try and sell this to the marketing folks? * Demonstrate via storyboards how much longer it takes to use one technique in given situations/user groups? * Paper prototypes + users = demonstration of annoyance the solution will cause? I heart demonstrations :) Especially lo-fi ones that the other side can be involved with. Yeah, this is the kind of investment that I think I will have to make.

[IxDA Discuss] Using qualifying questions to create a semi-walled garden?
Working on a marketing site for a consumer electronics service. Some customers can get product A; some can get product B; some can get both (due to geographic and technical limitations). There is no clear-cut single qualifying question, but probably 95% accuracy by postal code (zip code). Marketing is pushing for a qualifying question up front that will determine which product you are shown (i.e, you will not be shown the other product). We are pushing for an open site that will promote both products, and give the users the ability to choose, and do qualifying as the first step in ordering.

Besides the argument of user control over system control, can you think of any other angles to try and sell this to the marketing folks? I'm certain that it will adversely affect the sales of both products if users have to continuously qualify themselves during the research and decision process.

anyone with an opinion on this? It's commonplace to have email addresses as the username for regular users, since generally an email address is tied to only one individual; However business email addresses sometimes have multiple users, and/or are sent to distribution lists; and possibly if a person uses their own business email (ie. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and they move on / are fired / etc... then the account enters into a period of limbo if nobody can access the account since that email address is no longer valid.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Portfolios
Here's one more tip re portfolios: include credits for the people you worked with. If you're showing examples of final product, credit the designer/art director/creative director, the technical lead, the producer/PM... it doesn't have to be a laundry list of everyone who came to a meeting, but you do need to show that you can work well with others and that you give credit where it's due. Be prepared that your interviewer will probably have worked with or met one of the people you have worked with, so have something nice to say about them. One of the best advice I've heard about job interviews is that you basically have the job when you walk into the room; you lose it based on whether or not the interviewer feels you will be a good fit on the team.
