Overview

As part of the Usable Security and Privacy course, we took on the challenge of addressing new-age security problems. My contribution involved designing and developing a user-friendly security app, actively engaging in innovative problem-solving and application development to enhance user security and privacy.

Start with Site Templates

Transitioning from the discovery to the design phase, we engaged in addressing a security-related challenge by following a rigorous design process that led to the development of a state-of-the-art password management system. We ultimately created ".py Password Manager," which received widespread acceptance among our peers.

Problem space

As cyber threats continue to evolve, safeguarding digital identities is harder than ever. A lack of robust password security measures exposes individuals and organizations to increased risks of data breaches, hacking, and unauthorized access.

Hypothesis space

A dependable and user-friendly password management solution, assisting in the prevention of illegal access to critical information and, ultimately, securing the digital identities.

Research

We conducted primary research to lay the groundwork for our innovative application, which enables users to securely manage their passwords through a selection of multiple verification methods. My contributions were pivotal in integrating artificial intelligence to ensure the application's successful design and implementation, demonstrating my active role in harnessing AI to enhance user security and convenience.

Secondary research

To validate our idea and gain insights into its business potential, we conducted secondary research, including competitor analysis and literature review. I played a crucial role in employing the Red Ocean strategy, where we aimed to distinguish our product with a unique selling proposition (USP). Our literature review revealed that voice authentication is poised to be the next significant advancement in security technology. Based on this finding, I spearheaded the decision to incorporate voice authentication into our product, setting it apart from other password managers.

User flow

From the insights generated during the research phase we started creating user flows and wireframes.

Wireframing

User feedback

After preparing the wireframes and developing a low-fidelity prototype, we led the initiative to test our idea early, aiming to incorporate feedback promptly and iterate to refine the design. This approach was guided by the North Star principles, underscoring my proactive involvement in ensuring the prototype's evolution through user feedback and iterative design improvements.

After getting user feedback, we streamlined our final design of our product!

Learnings


I learnt the art of pitching products in a competitive and saturated market, honing my skills to effectively communicate the unique value propositions of our offerings.

Viewing constraints from different perspectives helped brew new approaches to tackle other constraints.

Cross-functional partners should be involved from the start effectively accounting for content strategy and technical feasibility early.

Prototype

Adhering to the KISS principle, I focused on minimizing design complexity, emphasizing quality over quantity. Our focus was on developing a robust, user-friendly password manager. We actively worked on enhancing user awareness about the importance of password protection, offering clear identifications and suggestions for creating strong passwords in just one click, thereby streamlining the process through our app.

This project was a great learning experience about creating designs for products backed by AI!

Congratulations for making it till here!
