Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_3) AppleWebKit/602.4.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0.3 Safari/602.4.8 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open this screenshot https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/832853549851803648 2. Ask a novice user which page is a fraud What is the expected behavior? All users should be able to identify the better EV certificate. What went wrong? I asked a few people, they think the site labelled "Secure" is the right one. Maybe the label "Secure" is a bit too much. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.12.3 Flash Version: Maybe think of something to add value to OV certificates, for instance show the extra data that's been verified. As DV/OV have always looked exactly the same as DV certificates, there's no value in them.

Emily: I think this is just a WontFix as part of the acknowledged design; do you see anything actionable here that warrants revisiting?

Yes, this is a WontFix as part of the acknowledged design. We chose the string "secure" based on extensive user research. |
