Comment on I disagree with Jakob Nielsen’s STOP password masking article by Sharath Byregowda

Nice article Santosh. ‘Security is about adding layers’ – I wonder why most do not understand this :(

Saying that do you recollect the Windows XP, Vista, 7 wifi password field. They have an option to select ‘show password’ which I have used a lot of time.

‘Show password’ is brilliant for a wifi password because we do not enter password each time but may need it when there is a connection issue. So its contextual :)

Hi ST,
Good reasoning you have putted indeed.

I do feel that for desktop applications, masking passwords is a must.

And I think we all would agree that for mobile and tablet applications, removing of masking of password will increase usability, but then what if “Remember Me” option was checked ? Password wide open to other people who have access to that mobile/tablet device!

But in the end I think security will win the race in this case, unless the whole password thingy goes away (SSO) :).

Regards
Ashik

I guess another point for mobile users is that there is much more risk of people shoulder surfing as the user is more likely to be in public.

I know I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable if any of my passwords were not masked.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it-The Alchemist. The afoementioned quote turns true for me.I wanted (read was desperate) to meet some of the finest testers (read Pradeep, Santosh,Dhanashekar)of india and had an oppurtunity but for some reason it couldn’t be materialized. But here comes another oppurtunity. I am game for the meet-up. I am coming.

@santosh Security is one aspect for web services the other important one is performance. Pramila’s article reminds me of “Testing WebServices Using JMeter” excellent share by Jim Yekrang(http://www.tarkia.com/blog/2010/03/28/webservices-testing-using-jmeter/)
@Pramila well composed! A fab share..

Very True LN. I just cooked it within few minutes and jotted down my thoughts in the mind-map and published it. You can add more and more to it. There is so much to it :)
