Hi guys,
during the ocial Registration process there are 4 issues that should be considered. Please, before take a look to the attached image, then:
1 - To ask "Do you want to continue as “Social Network User” ?"
This confirmation question here is quite a must, consider the cases:
- User is registering from a computer other than his and the owner has not logout from the Social Network
- I have more than one account with that Social Network and I'm still logged for the browser
- I'm using Chrome browser where more than one Users are using it and accidentally I'm surfing with the wrong Logged user
2 - To ask "There is yet a User registered with the same email, Are you ? Do you want to connect to that User ?"
- Could be that the site permit more that one regitration and, for sure, Users still often make a lot of confusion registering more than one time to the same site because they "forget" etc. (Stil there are a lot of Users that are using a lot of different emails)
3 - "Is there a way to do not permit to the browser to pre fill Username and Password fields ?"
Considering:
- User is registering from a computer other than his and the owner has forgot to logout from the Browser
- (I'm using Chrome browser where more than one Users are using it and accidentally I'm surfing with the wrong user)
So, if there is a way to avoid the Browser feature to pre fill Username and Password field, would be a good thing to don't pre fill these fields, forcing the user to enter them manually
4 - Consequently in point 3, for consistency it would be good to add the Show / Hide function here to the Password field as by default on Joomla 4 and as already added in the SCLogin module
In this way, perhaps a process needs a few more clicks, but certainly in this way it is much safer, proof of mistakes, more protective of Privacy...
