Thank you Apple for adding more options and transparency tools to messaging. Our research in SMS phishing / smishing showed how helpful Android users found these affordances.

Next, tell us how you use these flagged possible scam messages to improve the filters. #hci #usablesecurity #mobileUX

As a #security practitioner, I feel it is crucial that I cultivate user #trust that any prohibitions I must issue are necessary and reasonable - that means sometimes not maximizing the "security dial" to improve _actual security_. #usablesecurity

📬Three of four exciting AlpCHI 2026 workshops are still open for submissions!
Submit to one (or more) workshops and join us in the Alps to exchange ideas, connect with peers, and help shape the future of HCI!

"Passwort zu lang” Auch schon mal diese Meldung bekommen? 🙄 In unserer neuen LOVE or RAGE Ausgabe geht es darum, warum Security-Theater Hacker unterstützt - und was sicherer ist. Und nein, es ist nicht die Schuld der Nutzer*innen. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ausgab... #usablesecurity #ux

There's been a lot of movement in the identity world this year, reflective of some pretty significant shifts under way. Figured I'd throw together some thoughts and add my "Why I joined..." post to the growing collection.

All the people who keep pushing MFA and long, complex, and unique passwords as something which is easily done, should do themselves a favor and sit down with an elderly relative and let them try to set up a new phone! #usablesecurity #security #mfa #2fa

Organizations (esp. banks): Please DO NOT provide your own custom OTP-generation algorithm or app. Your customers can easily get locked out if that app loses its seed / if your customers lose their phones, etc. Use standardized means such as TOTP. #UsableSecurity #security

Whitepaper: #UsableSecurity -Menschbezogene #Cybersicherheit

🔒 Usability can make or break cybersecurity:
😤 Frustrated employees use workarounds🔓.
🚫 Discouraged admins avoid systems🔓.
💔 Flustered customers click away📉.

I loved Fidelis when I was in the SOC, but never found a CDS I didn't hate.

✨How bout y'all?⬇️
