Abstract
Our study was designed to answer the following questions:
• Where does authentication fit into the daily activities people carry out?
• What characteristics of authentication may interfere with the primary activity that authentication is supposed to enable? What are the friction points?
• How do people add up the cumulative costs of authenticating multiple times each day, and how do they balance them against their own perceived security needs?
• How do people perceive the costs of performing security tasks (particularly authentication tasks) in comparison with the benefits of performing those tasks?
