Chrome and Firefox increase their password warnings, but Safari lags behind

Software designers have to strike a careful balance between letting users do what they want and alerting them to mistakes while avoiding pestering them so often that the warnings go ignored. Worst of all, an app could prevent someone from carrying out an action they want to take, leading them to abandon the app in frustration.</p><p>
Nowhere is this more fraught than in Web browsers, especially considering that every major operating system ships with an in-house version, even as competition remains in place. People can switch easily, and browser makers know this. If your browser cautions, blocks, or nags you too much, you can just find one that’s less harsh—and I think this philosophy has led companies to allow more security issues to slip past.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3165567/security/chrome-and-firefox-increase-their-password-warnings-but-safari-lags-behind.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
