Modern life is full of these tiny inconveniences. It usually involves some sort of "smart" devices, like light switches, stoves, elevator buttons, etc. Each one of which could be forgivable, but in sum it's like death by a thousand paper cuts. User hostile UI in the name of security is particularly bad: we are supposed to type unique and complicated passwords in text fields without being able to see what we type, and if we get it wrong, we are put in timeout for two seconds. Citrix Netscaler nowadays apparently wants to be extra secure and shows you the most generic error message if you have a typo in either your password or user name and just tells you to "try again later", so you do until you lock yourself out. It's madness. |
