Walking into traffic, off the beaten path, or colliding with people – distracted walking is on the rise as people struggle with touchscreen interactions designed for workstation instead of mobile devices. The keyboard is a well-known mental model for soliciting input for authentication, which conserves the user effort of understanding the desired interaction. On the other hand, the reality of the actual cognitive effort is informally documented by the fact 52% of pedestrian accidents involve a smartphone. This presentation looks at measures of the effort required for smartphone authentication using human performance modelling and the design implications for security interfaces. Security design choices can dramatically impact usability, and modelling tools can save development time by providing evidence to question current common practices.
