Security is a critical element in the management of digital identities. Organizations collecting a ton of personal information do not want it to be exploited by threat actors and hackers. Many times you have to give your username or password along with a security question with its answer, fill out an OTP sent to your mobile phone, or do the cumbersome task of clicking all boxes with traffic lights and filling out confusing captcha codes. Ever thought what is all this for? Well, it’s all part of keeping your digital identity safe.
Now, as users, are you always satisfied with this level of added security? You may appreciate such strict security checks while accessing your medical records or bank accounts, but your appreciation level is likely to drop when you have to sift through so many security layers while browsing a simple e-commerce website. We can say that too much of a good thing is sometimes bad, at least when it comes to user experience in terms of identity verification.
Let us say, for example, you want to buy a shirt and browse through an online shopping site. For this, you may prefer:
- No authentication process for browsing the site
- A simple authentication process like a username and password to add items to your shopping cart
- An additional authentication factor like entering an OTP sent to your mobile phone when you want to check out and place your order.
