"The user's going to pick dancing pigs over security every time"
- Bruce Schneier
About this Quote
This quote by Bruce Schneier is referring to the fact that users will often prioritize benefit over security when making choices. Simply put, users will frequently pick the alternative that is more enjoyable or easier to utilize, even if it means sacrificing security. For instance, if a user exists with two choices, one of which is a dancing pig game and the other is a security function, the user will likely select the dancing pig game. This is due to the fact that the dancing pig game is more amusing and simpler to use than the security feature. Schneier is stressing the value of making security functions more easy to use and enjoyable so that users are most likely to pick them over other choices.
