Given that good security is based on having strong passwords that change
over time, hiding the capability under About Me is really no go. It's
probably to late to change for FC5, but I would suggest at the minimum
changing the hint that is shown when the mouse is held over the About Me
entry from:
Set your personal information
to:
Set your personal information and user password
And the title to "About me and my account". (or login)
There would then be a slim chance that a user would actually find it!
What do others think ?
As the OP, I absolutely agree. I'm a rather experienced user and this
one caught me totally by surprise. This new ...um... feature definitely
fails the usability teas as far as I'm concerned.
