I'm attaching an example of how the security warning could look like. It uses the "security-low" icon from the theme (it's a standard freedesktop icon name, mentioned here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming- spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html).

Open Online Accounts 2. Click "Add account…" 3. Select "Facebook" 4. Observe that a facebook login form loads in the control center panel instead of an external browser, with a security warning. [Regression Potential] None: the current situation is completely broken as long as facebook does this http redirect during auth. This fix just allows that http request. ----------------------------- Desired resolution: Users should be warned about security passively with a notice of the security status on the page, rather than interrupting the page-flow. The security status should be displayedas an icon & text. The best place for the status is to the bottom left of the frame, balancing the legal notice link. - The icon should be similar to the icon used in the browser (browser phablet app). - The text should be a description of the page security.
