• Discussion Question Error Messages
• The comic book store is concerned with what
  happens if something in the app doesn't work.
  Well-designed error messages in apps can help
  users get through confusing moments, reduce user
  anxiety, keep users in task funnels, and increase
  users' chances of successfully completing a form.
  Confusing error messages can prevent users from
  successfully completing a task.
• Think of the last time you needed to update a
  password for an app. Were the steps clear? Were
  the password requirements spelled out? Did you
  need to verify the change in a separate email?
• Discuss what you think is needed for being able
  to streamline this process and let the user know
  what is needed for the store's app. Feel free to
  share an experience with an error message, if
  you've had one, with your peers.

  to others. Suppose the device of an employee of a
  popular quiz app was hacked and it led to a
  database being shared.
• What do you think the company could do fix the
  breach? What security measures could have
  prevented this breach from happening? What are
  your thoughts about storing secure data in
