A security nudge is a short prompt shown at the moment of a risky decision. Examples include a banner on an email from outside the company, or a warning before a link opens. Research shows that prompts like these can change behavior. It also shows that design decides how well they work. In one study of 25 million real warnings, users clicked through as few as one in ten of some warnings and as many as seven in ten of another. So the question is not whether to nudge, but how to build a prompt people actually heed.<\/p>
