An unexplained security block can look like a broken product. Messages should help users without exposing unnecessary defensive detail.
Evaluation approach
Explain the restricted action, available steps and support. Distinguish service failures from device-risk decisions.
Application example
Make it clear when an application update may resolve the condition.
Limits and considerations
Assuming every block is an attack obscures false positives and increases complaints.
One message for every block?
Updates, outages and device risk need different solutions. A single vague message adds support work. Give actionable information within the evidence's limits.
Checks and decisions
- Classify errors
- Offer a route forward
- Review appeals
