[Xbox One] Profile PIN privacy and usability

[darkassassin07 423]

When logging in using a saved pin on xbone; the pin is displayed in large plain text across the whole screen....

Both the web app and android client obfuscate this with '*'s, but the xbone shows it to everyone.

 

 

Second to this: when the app starts it immediately asks for the pin of the last used user. If that's not the user you want, you have to press back, navigate to the user icon in the top right, select change user, then finally select user and login.

This is very clunky and a bit unintuitive.

Even just pressing back repeatedly demands the last users pin instead of returning to user select.

Particularly for a tv client like this, it should always just load into the select user screen as it did previously.

HI, the old MS edge rendering engine doesn't support the technique being used to obfuscate it.

The newer Chromium based one does and we'll be switching to that in the not too distant future.

Well, that's good. Hopefully that doesn't take long to roll out.

 

Any thoughts on the usability aspect in the second half?

We should add a quick change user button into that dialog if it's not already there.

This is what's displayed immediately upon launching the app:

 

When you press back, it takes you to the manual login page (username+password entry) instead of the page you get when selecting 'change user'. When you press back again it takes you back to this pin entry.

OK so yes we should add Change user to the bottom of that.
