: Form submitted. Profile updated. The iCloud keychain is offering to Update. This could be considered really quick and convenient, or startling. If you don’t use iCloud keychain and instead using 1Password or LastPass, this can catch you unawares. The clipboard did not have a copy of the generated password so I don’t have a way to update the password in 1Password. Anyhow, tap Update Password.

: The notice has the generic Profile updated message. Given the anxiety of changing a password, should a message specific to changing the password be shown? Maybe link to password recovery info. Tap the Home icon in the toolbar.

A visual survey of site icon terminology

Site icons recently landed in trunk using the terminology “Site icon”. We didn’t go with “favicon”. Favicon is an under-the-hood term, one with a lot of tedious history. Instead, we want to package title, tagline, and icon together as site identity. And, we already have some history with site/blog icon. Here’s a quick visual surveyVisual survey A visual survey is a collection of screenshots for a like set of screens or interfaces, such as all list table screens or all toolbar incarnations across various devices. These screens are not presented in the context of a particular flow.https://make.wordpress.org/test/tag/visual-survey/.
