**Limitations:** Although user education helps to raise awareness and reduce the overall risk to users, it is insufficient on its own to mitigate cross-device consent phishing attacks. In particular, carefully designed phishing attacks can be practically indistinguishable from benign authorization flows even for well-trained users. User education SHOULD therefore be used in conjunction with other controls described in this document.

### User Experience

The user experience SHOULD preserve the context within which the protocols were initiated and communicate this clearly to the user when they are asked to authorize, authenticate or present a credential. In preserving the context, it should be clear to the user who invoked the flow, why it was invoked and what the consequence of completing the authorization, authentication or credential presentation is. The user experience should reinforce the message that unless the user initiated the authorization request, or was expecting it, they should decline the request.

If the user uses an application on a mobile device to scan a QR code, the application MAY display information advising the user under which conditions they should expect to be asked to scan a QR code and under which circumstances they should never scan a QR code (e.g. display a message that the QR code will only be displayed on kiosks within trusted locations or on trusted websites hosted on a specific domain, and never in e-mail or other media and locations).

This information MAY be communicated graphically or in a simple message (e.g., "It looks like you are trying to access your files on a digital whiteboard in your city center office. Click here to grant access to your files. If you are not trying to access your files, you should decline this request and notify the security department").

It SHOULD be clear to the user how to decline the request. To avoid accidental authorization grants, the "decline" option SHOULD be the default option or given similar prominence in the user experience as the "grant" option.

The user experience MAY include information to further educate the user on cross-device consent phishing attacks and reinforce the conditions under which authorization grants may be requested.

**Limitations:** Improvements to user experience on their own is unlikely to be sufficient and SHOULD be used in conjunction with other controls described in this document.
