Because I have the option on the phone, however I know I had it deactivated and I don't remember seeing a popup screen inviting me to enable Fingerprint" "If one had popped up for Fingerprint, unless it's absolutely necessary I probably would not have activated the Fingerprint because I don't like it—I prefer using PINs or pattern, I don't know why" | N/A | N/A | REMOVED 3/19 | N/A | N/A | REMOVED 3/19 | N/A | N/A | ||||||||

20 | (All Set) Bringing your attention back to the current screen, without touching your device, what do you expect Lockbox to do for you? After responding, tap Finish and go to the next task. | [MENTAL MODEL] Partially correct: assumes passwords already in her browser will be in Lockbox, and that she will access them through Lockbox... but doesn't mention going to an app or website and having Lockbox autofill. "I imagine that I would be able to save different passwords that are already in there—they'd save them into my Lockbox & then everytime that I'd click on a website that was already saved, the passsword would automatically be in there." | 0.5 | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] Partially correct: assumes her FIrefox passwords will be in Lockbox, and that she will access them through Lockbox... but doesn't mention going to an app or website and having Lockbox autofill. (reads bullet) "I understand that this is just going to allow me to use - to get passwords from Firefox onto my phone specifically, not on any other device i have around—it's good that I clarified that because I wasn't sure before." (reads bullet) "Makes me feel pretty secure about putting my passwords on here I think I guess because obviously as a consumer, putting my passwords anywhere online, even if its a reputable company like Mozilla, still makes me feel a little uneasy, but just seeing the fact that you guys put this here makes me feel a little more at ease." (reads bullet) "now i'm seeing the fingerprint item - it makes it a little more secure feeling for me because i guess they need my fingerprint as well" "from this screen—what i'm expect Lockbox to do for me—is that i can pull out my phone, i can look at all my passwords maybe that I have have for FIrefox, maybe that I have for other devices that I can manage in the system and that it will be secure for me to put them in there for me and secure so that no one else can get into this app." (taps finish) | 0.5 | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] Correctly assumes Lockbox will allow her to access saved logins from all her devices that use FIrefox, and autofill them elsewhere. (reads the 'You're all set' screen content aloud, then says referring to Fingerprint text— "I deactived that for my phone, I may have to reactivate it" "Is probably to allow me those things that I was just questioned on—to choose to enable fingerprint unlocking option, and it would allow me to autofill as well, being as I would be able to access logins that are saved to FIrefox from my phone. And maybe also for other devices, since it would be synchronized between the devices. | 1 | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] Partially correct: assumes FIrefox passwords will be in Lockbox... but doesn't mention going to an app or website and having Lockbox autofill. (Reads text) "I expect to be able to access my logins that I've saved to my Firefox browser on my phone, I guess." | 0.5 | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] Partially correct: assumes FIrefox passwords will be in Lockbox... but doesn't mention going to an app or website and having Lockbox autofill.

22 | Without touching your device, what is your first impression of what you see? | [MENTAL MODEL] (initially sees No Entries Found due to user error setting up test) "Very basic - gives information into how to view entries if I had them" (thinks she needs to sync, then she pauses video, syncs & credentials appear) | N/A | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL]"so here's all my stuff, oh my goodness" "i knew this was going to happen because i signed a consent form so i'm not worried what's happening next, but just seeing some of the things in here... i guess that i didn't realise were saved by Firefox, just makes me at first a little 'whoa' that this is all already being saved on here I guess, just as an average consumer" (scrolling list) "my capitalone passwords are in here, that's a little terrifying to me. so knowing that this is already being saved is a little bit of a shock, but at the same time, if this is something i was going to use to easily pull any of this information it seems very convenient that it's already being saved. And now thinking back to the security and encryption settings, the fingerprint i can put in place for this if i had it enabled on my phone, makes me feel a little bit better. definitely very convenient." "it's a little overwhelming just because there's so much here that i actually didn't realize was being saved onto this device or through my account or something." | N/A | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] (participant realizes now that Firefox has been saving her logins) "oh my goodness. OH MY GOODNESS." (scrolling) "There are SO MANY of my accounts here." (reads names of accounts & scrolls) "this is very interesting." "my first impression is 'What the heck has been happening in the background!? Where'd they get all these—of my stuff from?'" "what the heck, they've been keeping my stuff" "I'm shocked as to what was happening all along." | N/A | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] (chuckling) "Oh, ok. That's interesting." (reads protocol question while checkling) "I guess I'm a bit shocked because I'm surprised that it's showing me all my usernames for all the different sites. I'm a bit shocked that it knew all this information and it was able to figure it out." | N/A | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] (initially sees No Entries Found—guessing this is beause of all the password changes?) "No Entries found—looks like I need to sign in & sync to have it show up." "Uh oh, maybe I haven't synced it yet. Oh my." Taps around hamburger menu: Account, Settings, FAQ—looking for a way to sync her account. Pauses video & comes back, can see list (2 entries—firefox account & mozilla account). | N/A | N/A | ||||||||
23 | Go ahead and explore this screen. Where did this list of apps and websites come from? | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] Matter-of-factly: "that's all my passwords that I imagine they got from all the accounts so that I'm linked in wth everything...Lockbox because I'm synced in it's got all my details from all the different websites I use, so they're there" | 1 | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "i guess that's what i'm trying to figure out. i'm assuming it's coming maybe from my Google account, or maybe not, it's very interesting, some of these are things I've done at work so I'm assuming it's anything that's tied to any firefox sessions that i've had potentially." Isn't sure initially, and is surprised to see stuff he did pre-FxA here (doesn't realise he's saving stuff in the browser & that creating a FxA makes them available in additional places): "there's alot of things in here that i didn't expect to see that i maybe used once and never again. so i guess that would be my guess. it's either coming from my Google account or coming from sessions I've had on Firefox browser from different websites—that's kind of what i'm thinking too. I know some of these things I've done I've primarily used Mozilla Firefox so I'm assuming it's kind of captured that for me, which I find interesting only because I have only created my Firefox account recently and I have used some of these websites at work. So yea i assume that's where it's coming from." | 1 | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] (correct—understands what the list is) "Maybe it's Firefox—all things I've been keeping on Firefox, they've been saved." "More than likely they came from my using/opening these applications through Firefox" (opens a detail page and then another [see step 20 for think aloud]) "it seems basically that once I have used Firefox to open an account somewhere, it stores my user name and password—especially maybe in cases where I may have opted to autosave the username and password." | 1 | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] (partially correct) "This list came from Firefox browser on my mobile phone" [interesting, because he's also a Firefox desktop user] Notices search, filter, hamburger menu. | 0.5 | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "I think it came from my Firefox account.

"ok that's interesting. I expected that when I clicked on it, it would open up my passwords for that website, but it looks like it just tried to log me back in, send me back to a splash screen or something?"

49 | Reflecting on your use of Lockbox today, did it work the way that you expected it to? Is there anything you would change? | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] Says it works well, then blames self for bug. "It seemed to work very well when I was looking through to websites that were already on there, the only issue came when I was trying to log in because i've not got many apps on my phone that i've got logins for—it didn't seem to work on that Duolingo one so I think that was more likely down to my phone rather than the app—the rest of it works really smoothly and it was easy to set up and navigate" | N/A | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "Honestly, I don't think so, it actually did more than I expected it to do—I honestly just expected it to be a list of usernames, what it was used for and passwords. But it definitely made the process more easy to use. Again, the list is a little overwhelming when you first see it but I geusss that's just the nature of what you're trying to do here. " "And I think the interface to lock it—it might be handy to make it a little more obvious if that's something that you wanted. But once you do it once, it's easy to know how to lock it down. But it does seem like if you close it without locking it down you could very easily get back into it. So that's one minor thing. " "There should be another way to add passwords in here, than just creating them within the Firefox browser—I would make that more apparent, because I don't really see a way to do it other than that. If that's the way it's supposed to work, than I wouldn't change a thing." | N/A | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "there are some things i wasn't expecting - for example, the list when i opened the Lockbox, but it made sense afterwards that i'm able to see all of the list because of the fact that I opened and signed in to an account from Firefox and probably opted in to saving my signin credentials." "the ability that if the link is open from the Lockbox, that it would not [require signing in] because it's already synced." | N/A | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "Well, everything except the actual filling out of the login information worked as I expected it to." "At this point, maybe just make sure that it automatically does fill out my information—in this case it didn't. Other than that, there's nothing else I would change." | N/A | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "it was a little confusing with all the usernames & trying to get into Firefox. I love being able to have them all in one place and then having them fill in the passwords for me once I put in my username. It definitely worked the way I expected it to. I guess Lockbox kind of keeps them in one palce, so if I had to access it, then I could." | N/A | N/A | ||||||||
50 | How does this experience using Lockbox compare to your current method for access and retrieval of usernames and passwords? | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] Sounds like Firefox may not be her main browser (or she doesn't save logins in it) she seems to think she needs to take steps to get credentials into lockbox. "It should be easier once I've got all my accounts set up - I've got them all on different accounts, different websites, different email addresses, so I think once that's all set up it would be alot easier to keep them all in one place securely rather than just keep forgetting them or having to reset them all." | N/A | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "I don't really use a lot of these password manager apps because I feel like the access is going to get into the wrong hands—that sort of thing. But it's way easier than using it like in a book like I have in the past because when I'm at home or at work, now I know I can access these passwords from anywhere because I always carry my phone with me. I definitely feel like this is way easier to manage because there are passwords in here that I think I've forgotten even exist...WHich is really nice, because going back to those places and now knowing 'oh i already have an account here, here's the password' that's something that I would never have even thought of. ANd I can tell you that maybe 90% of these passwords are not in the notebook that I've created." | N/A | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "it's kind of helpful in one breath and frightening in another breath. and i say helpful because, oftentimes, if i'm with my laptop but not with my desk/notepads that i may have jotted down information for an account—and i won't always have the notebooks—Firefox saves these passwords and whatever else that would be needed. And having the passwords readily available on the page helps" "using Lockbox compared to my current method—writing down things in a notebook—is definitely a big jump. definitely helpful." "oftentimes when i don't remember [my password], I have to create a new password... Would be better not having to recreate passwords all the time" | N/A | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "It's definitely more complicated. You have to install an app, create an account, log into an account and then the app has to work in the background—if it doesn't, the error will come up & then you can't use it. So it's quite complicated compared to just using Firefox with the saved passwords." | N/A | N/A | [USABILITY/MENTAL MODEL] "If I saved it on a website [in the browser] then it does pull up already, but I guess Lockbox is handy because if I was on a different device, or for some reason it wasn't pulling up as being saved, I could go back to Lockbox and see what my password is" "It's a much better situation than what I'm doing now, where I think I've saved this one but I never know until I'm there." | N/A | N/A | ||||||||
51 | Do you think that Lockbox could help you to improve the security of your passwords? Why or why not? | [MENTAL MODEL] Understands that lockbox can support & empower her to improve her password hygiene: "yes as long as it's save & secure & can't be hacked or anything - i think it would improve the security of my passwords so that I don't keep using the same ones all the time maybe. They're all in one place, hopefully safe" | N/A | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] Equates password security with PIN & Fingerprint, but doesn't think of the passwords themselves: "I think it depends on how well you have your phone locked down. I have the PIN right now, if I had fingerprint I think it would feel a little more secure. And it feel like it would be more secure if that lock button was a little more obvious...maybe not on the main screen, where it's easy to hit & accidentally lock things down, but i feel like it could definitely improve security of my passwords just because you know anyone could just like open my notebook that i have sitting around my house and not everyone can get into my phone—I don't normally let it out of my sight. And knowing that you guys encrypt the data definitely makes me feel more secure about it, but I still feel that leery kind of feeling just having it on—this is obviously stored somewhere digitally. And I understand it's encrypted and I can only access it on my side with my PIN and how I securely lock down my phone. So I guess it feels a little more secure to me than having them out in the open in a notebook somewhere. | N/A | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] (describes the security of having synced password across devices that are accessible by Lockbox, but not maintaining unique passwords) "Yes and no. Having this kind of system with Lockbox, my passwords would go with me wherever I am, regardless of the device I am on—I suppose it would help." "but phones can be lost or stolen and one wouldn't want to have a quick click on the app or website." (doesn't think that would happen because she expects Lockbox would automatically lock after not being used for an hour) (reatcting to final 'remove Lockbox' instruction: "OH you want me to remove it? I don't want to remove it unless it's not a real app. I think I'l keep it for a bit." | N/A | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] "i'm not quite sure at this point. I think the only thing I could maybe benefit from is viewing my password over here. That's pretty cool." "I don't think it would improve my security because it pretty much does the same thing as a password manager with the exception that it lists all the usernames and passwords, and I can view the passwords." | N/A | N/A | [MENTAL MODEL] (Understands that Lockbox can support & empower her to improve her password hygiene) "Yes definitely. Especially because I'll use similar ones—having them in a palce where I can use more obscure ones but not having to remember them all—that would improve the security of my passwords." | N/A | N/A | ||||||||
52 | Final thoughts? | "No comments except for it was a bit tricky to set up at the beginning, I'm not sure why my duolingo one wouldn't work even when I tried putting in the username it didn't work so I think that was more likely down to my phone rather than the app. It looks really good and easy to use"" | N/A | N/A | "If there is a way that this should be accessed on the device, i'd say i only use the default browser on here—I did go into some apps and see if anything happened, but I did not see it work the way I'm guessing it should be working. SO i guess if it is trying to pull in information or update information, I'm not seeing it but, if it is being pulled in specifically being pulled in from the Lockbox app, I may be expecting to see some sort of icon there that tells me that that's where the information is being pulled from—a little Lockbox icon maybe—and maybe that's what's supposed to pop up, I'm really not sure. I couldn't seem to replicate that. But that's how i'd expect it to happen if it is being stored on my Firefox Account. I'd also expect to probably be able to access that on my computer when I'm on Firefox as well and I'm not really seeing that. It looks like the little key icon which could've been tehre before, could not have been there before. But I guess that's what I expect to happen. If anything other than that is happening, I'm definitely not expecting it to happen, so." | "If it's not synchronized across devices—all my devices would need to have the Lockbox installed, I'm assuming so. If not, it would be nice to be able to just open a browser and be able to get on Lockbox fror the web rather than having to download an app." | none | "I feel Lockbox was really helpful in saving passwords for all of my site—I only had a few, but I would be interested in getting in and adding more." | ||||||||||||||||
