Subject: Chocolate first, then ask for passwords
https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2016/05/13/want-to-keep-your-password-safe-give-up-chocolate/
FINALLY a research paper instead of all those highly subjective little
experiments conducted by companies with products to sell about the
age-old "give a person a chocolate, and they will give up their
password" usually ending up in an article at least I find hard to put
any trust into.
Now remember, as the paper says, FIRST give chocolate, THEN ask for
their passwords. They feel more obligated to do it after a small gift,
such as chocolate.
I would really like to see more research like this, preferably from the
psychology side of research. CMU? Jeunese Payne? Angela Sasse? Any others?
