Neither of your posts leave me with a solid idea of what "user
experience" means here. When a site I'm visiting has a new
certificate, and I get asked to confirm it, but I have to click my
mouse 2 or 3 times to actually see the signature, is that a unique
enough "user experience" that giving me all the information up-front
would qualify as a different user experience? If the OP upgrades and
suddenly starts asking me to place my thumb against a biometric
reader they sent me, in addition to entering a password like before,
is this a change in "user experience" even though the redirection
between OP and RP in my web browser remains the same?
