I don't know about default password sync on/off by default. Password syncing is one of the most useful (with history and tabs being list useful, IMO). Not sure how much we can control sync order, but maybe if we sync passwords last they'd have more time to opt out of it if they didn't want to sync passwords up or down from The Cloud.
I'm fine with syncing everything by default, and then as soon as they hit "customize" pause all syncing until they finish customizing their selection. Once they finish changing the sync options we resume syncing. -peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Gruen" <[email protected]> To: "Mark Finkle" <[email protected]>, "Ryan Feeley" <[email protected]> Cc: "Gavin Sharp" <[email protected]>, "Johnathan Nightingale" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 8, 2014 2:02:14 PM Subject: Re: Walkthru of FxA/Sync Account Creation ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Finkle" <[email protected]> To: "Johnathan Nightingale" <[email protected]> Cc: "John Gruen" <[email protected]>, "Gavin Sharp" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 8, 2014 4:26:53 PM Subject: Re: Walkthru of FxA/Sync Account Creation ----- Original Message ----- > On Jan 8, 2014, at 3:59 PM, John Gruen wrote: > > > Why do they need to click the button to start syncing?

I'm fine with Nightingale's suggestion to start syncing by default (possibly excluding password syncing by default) and just using the surface the customize link, but the door hanger is the right control to tell the user they're syncing and to give them access to a customize link. > Is it because we want people to think they are setting up an Account and not > a Sync tool? They are setting up both, but we keep the Sync part a bit quiet > during the creation process. Basically yes. We want/need to keep the FxA sign in part generic b/c it will be used in a variety of contexts. The fxa flow accepts some query strings so we know where the user's coming from and where to route them when they're done, but otherwise we want it to be uniform in different contexts. _______________________________________________ Sync-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev _______________________________________________ Sync-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev
