How do you remember multiple logins & passwords?
Have you started with a hotmail account, a yahoo one later then rediff to rediffmail and next one to gmail?
So do you keep the same passwords for all of them? if not how would you remember?
How about facebook, flickr, technorati/delicious & linkedin accounts and many more?? Do you keep the same login? what if the name was already taken (suppose in delicious) and you have to change the login….how would you remember?
If there was an online application (i tried googling & googling) would you trust it to save such sensitive information?
I’m sure you save your password and your home PC/laptop but i’m sure you’ll need to backup somewhere else right?
where would you save it?
my Bus ride on the 500K volvo
I believe i have the average height of an average Indian female. Now, standing inside a bus, can be pretty painful if your hand just reaches when you need to hold and you got to painfully stretch your hand and stand!
I shifted from my 2-wheeler to opt for the comfy ride of the Volvo from work to home, (also due to stress & hyper-tension caused by the honkers and the undisciplined traffic!) but Bravo! to the traffic cops and volunteers, they are doing us a big favor by managing the ever-growing mammoth traffic in Bangalore.
my antics at the XYi atm
Posted by Kshipra in Interaction Design, Usability on November 17th, 2008
Do you get nervous standing being a first timer at a different bank’s ATM thinking about how the interface will be like (hoping the same as your old bank’s ATM interface) & how you would take out the cash with ease and take pride that you would have taken the least time inside the ATM than any of the members of the queue?
OK…i’m in, now what? i swipe the card, then i look at the monitor….stare to figure where to ‘touch’…i realize unlike PIPIP bank’s ATM there is no buttons alongside the monitor, should i press the numbers or should i touch the monitor?….yes it is the monitor…..boy, if they were recording me on the security cam, i’m sure they would have had a blast!! and i’m taking more time than usual!
People behind me might think what a ‘dork’ i am….keeping them waiting. The information architecture is similar so i have no problem navigating and then i do the needful of withdrawing the cash.
Now my dilemma is, am i out the system? (it is very clear in my previous bank’s ATM) what if i am not logged out? i can’t figure out from the screen because it is showing me something that i cant seem to comprehend …because i’m tensed about getting out there as fast as possible. Now i don’t want the next person behind me to come and withdraw all my cash right? so i press multiple buttons and leave!
Phew!!
what was that??
Did i just behave like that? or do people generally freak out every time they need to use a new system?
