The content shown to me is in German while the selected item/language in the drop down menu is English.

I find that confusing. If I change the selection to German then nothing changes.

 

I guess that the drop down menu is inactive?

 

Cheers

Axel

Agreed.  The current plan for that is for users to be able to click "About Account Chooser" at the bottom, and the help page would tell them they could just visit accountchooser.com directly to edit their list of accounts.  Adam Dawes has a low priority task to work on the content of that page.  We also were looking at adding a way for a user to disable accountchooser.com directly on their browser.  I think we might have even written that code in the past, but just lost the link.

The remark about account management (3) was more a remark about accountchooser not about favcolor.net. Although

https://www.accountchooser.com/redirect.html#favcolor.net

is a page for favcolor.net, I think, that this page could/should have a link in it to allow account management.

That would be like a file chooser in Windows where the user can create a file while he is currently supposed to choose one.

Maybe it is ok like it is today. When I tried favcolor.net today I found an old account on accountchooser.com. After the logout from favcolor.net I wanted to delete that account from accountchooser.com. There was way to do that on the “redirect.html” page. I had to delete the path in the url bar and could then delete that account from accountchooser.com’s top page.

1) The source code of “https://favcolor.net/account-login” contains this line:

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>

Shouldn’t this be https always?'

 

Yes, I suppose so.

 

2) In IE there is a warning about ssl certificate errors. Don’t know how I could convince IE to give more details about the errors.

 

Is this a reasonably-up-to-date IE?  It's not possible to support back revs of IE without spending extra so favcolor.net gets its own IP address, which seems a little superfluous. 

 

 

3) After the logout my browser is redirected to

https://www.accountchooser.com/redirect.html#favcolor.net

I think that here should be an option to manage accounts (delete one) on this page too. Or a link to https://www.accountchooser.com/ where I can manage my accounts.

 

Hm, it redirects back to the landing page, which redirects to accountchooser.  I suppose it would be better to have a little thank-you-and-goodbye page, instead.

Hi. 

 

It would be great if we can plan out for actually making the AC documentation into the OIDF specs format as well. 

 

Tim, are you going to be in RSA? If so, we could take couple of hours to create a first draft.

The dropdown should control the language in the footer, and in the account list, and the top left above the site's marketing text.  However the site's has to handle translating its marketing text.  The demo sites only have marketing in English, so they always send that template to AccountChooser.  If a real site is more sophisticated though, it can dynamically change the template it sends to AccountChooser based on the user's language selection.

Axel, can you give more details about the issue? How you get the German content and which browser did you use?

I was using Firefox 17.0.1 in German. The screenshots were taken using that version. Then I updated to 18.0 but the behavior stayed the same.

 

 

Another page:

 

The content is German while the selected Language is English (US).

 

It seems that the behavior changed since yesterday or I tried it on a page that I cannot find today.

Now if I change the selected language the content actually changes. Before I could change it and nothing happened.

If I change it to Dansk the content changes. If I change it back to the default English (US) then it changes to English (US).

So it seems that is only inconsistent the first time.

Axel, could you try again? We have a push today. The issue should be fixed.
Let me know if it's not.

Seems to work now. Language selection and content language are now in sync.

Thanks
