Description:

When a user opens Facebook, he wants to post a picture. When she logs into her bank, she wants to see her balance. Security is not front of mind, and if it gets in their way — they're likely to look for a shortcut or simply walk away. And yet, we consistently push security decisions to users, ranging from passwords to security warnings, usually resulting in an experience that's neither usable nor secure.

In this webcast, Rachel and Guy will combine their UX and security expertise to offer an alternative, showing examples that aspire to solve the problem, and sharing best practices of how to provide a secure experience that doesn't alienate users.
