Hi all, John and I were recently deeply moved by Luke W’s long form article on showing passwords by default.
http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1941 <http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1941> TL;DR – when users understand their passwords are being shown before they start typing, they are okay with it, and it helps them sign in with much higher success. Now that we are tracking the success rate of our forms that require passwords, and also (soon?) tracking the usage of the Show password control, I would like to propose that we run an experiment to show the password by default with this design. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ee4kkq52i2ve4rd/two-options.png?dl=0 The left shows the default state (on) and the right shows the unchecked state. Make sense? Ryan Feeley UX, Cloud Services Mozilla UX IRC: rfeeley
