How do we design cybersecurity that cares about a specific user? We have two new papers coming in early 2026:
🔹 CybAS: A 3-factor scale (Present, Future, Control) to measure the psychological burden of digital threats. Conditionally accepted for #CHI2026 in Barcelona. 🔹 Digital Safety for Migrants: A participatory design study to create AI-enabled advice interfaces with international students from the Global South. Accepted at #USEC2026.

#HCI #USEC #UsableSecurity people: Would you be interested in tutorial papers or conference workshops about scale/item development and validation with CTT and IRT Methods?
Seeing as a lot of you use scales, but very few of you do psychometric work, it might be a beneficial thing to do (if publishable). Thoughts/comments?

Windows 11 recently improved its passkey experience, part of a broader pattern worth paying attention to. We've been working hard within the FIDO Alliance to remove friction around passkeys, since improving usability is one of the most important drivers to boosting passwordless adoption in both the consumer and enterprise worlds. Moves like these help passkeys become just as operationally viable as they are technically sound.
There’s also a benefit to this architectural pattern that people miss at first glance that enables passkeys to really scale in real-world environments. Check out my blog to learn more.

First day is almost over, but we had very interesting papers being presented today with lively discussion.
#EuroUSEC is a pretty nice #usablesecurity conference with a great community. It’s always a pleasure to attend 🤗

Are you interested in - or even, teaching - Usable Security and Privacy? Check out my lectures on YouTube. I have been re-recording and posting these to a playlist. Subscribe! https://youtu.be/O4nz5cyGLtg?si=REgwrbNBuH6g7yqn

PSA for iOS Android users everywhere: it's fine to use biometric authentication to unlock your device. It helps you choose better passwords. So instead of turning fingerprint and face scans off completely, when you find yourself in a less secure environment, simply press the power and volume up buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. On iPhones, your phone will immediately require a password. For Android users, you'll need to click the lockdown button presented on the screen. Then, practice the move a couple times per week each week. #UsableSecurity

Very pleased to be presenting a poster and short paper at #CHI2024. This framework adds structure to the literature on social cybersecurity and summarizes findings from an interview study. I'll be there all week if you want to chat! https://blog.corifaklaris.com/2024/05/06/a-framework-for-reasoning-about-social-influences-on-security-and-privacy-adoption-new-for-chi-2024/

Downside of long encryption passphrases is that I can spend a long time thinking I have forgotten the passphrase before managing to actually type what I originally though the passphrase was in correctly. #UsableSecurity #CryptographicallyStrong

Really insightful chats today with @xchatty of BasisTech and Lee Sult of Sleuth Labs (a brand-new spinoff) about creating security tools for incident investigators and forensic analysts that “just work.” Thanks for visiting UNC Charlotte! #usability #UsableSecurity

Because of my research, I have to add a disclaimer to all emails to faculty and staff: "I promise that I am not phishing you for research with this email."
That's just what a phisher would WANT you to believe, so I also then have to include a statement on my website to verify the information. ;_)

This is new in an account serviced by Wells Fargo, in their e-billexpress.com site. There's at least 3 or 4 #soups #usablesecurity papers in this shot. You might enjoy the chaser.

We are hiring a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer (Assistant/Associate Professor) in Cyber Security and Digital Harms. We are particularly interested in candidates with research interests in the human side of things (recent hires have been technical) but feel free to talk to us if you have any interest in the role and do pass on to others who you think might be interested: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DCB581/lecturer-senior-lecturer-in-cyber-security-and-digital-harms-550711 #CyberSecurity #Jobs #UKHE #HumanFactors #Cybercrime #CyberLaw #UsableSecurity #HCI #Cyberpsychology

Re: Representative samples in #usablesecurity:
Representative samples are important when it comes to things that are not directly linked to basic psychological function, i.e. opinions or preferences. Usability-wise, representative samples that are used to produce averages are bad, as different user groups might have different preferences. Better: Look for elbow points in continuous preferences and use classification models (k-means etc.) to see whether user groups can be identified.
What you shouldn't do is pre-select people into age groups and think people within are all the same. People do not differ by age, but by preference. One could therefore argue, that representation by social quotas is not that helpful. -

UGH - The US Treasury Department's login page forces you to use an onscreen keyboard that only responds to mouse clicks and disables pasting in their password field.
I imagine the main outcome of this is convincing people to use crappier and shorter passwords.
I'm begging the world to pleaseeeee stop using the
readonlyattribute in your password input fields.#UsableSecurity #Authentication #JustLetMePasteFromMyPasswordManagerDamnit

Revisiting some #UsableSecurity paper classics today in preparation for class:
Zurko & Simon (1996): User-Centered Security

Wondered how Risk-Based #Authentication (RBA) *really* behaves on a huge online service with millions of users? Read on!
We studied 3.3M users and 31.3M login attempts to uncover and improve the real world RBA behavior. Paper published Open Access in #ACM TOPS: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3546069
