Got it. I fully understand where you’re coming from and support your point of view with my own habits (as per my post above).

On the other hand… the same normies you’re talking about would very likely bother Vitor and other Amethyst mantainers about why they can't take screenshots of their social media app by default... Seriously, I've been there, it's hard enough to get family members to use a password manager; it took me ages to get them onto Signal, etc. I know this sounds awful to anyone into tech and privacy, but the default response from most people is: they don’t care because "they have nothing to hide". The average user picks convenience every time.

My take on this is: maybe always enable FLAG_SECURE for windows dealing with nsecs, payment-related stuff, etc. The toggle is also a great idea, it can be displayed on first login as well as at the very top of the configuration settings.

But IMO, and I understand this might be disappointing, I fully expect most people to disable FLAG_SECURE if it was the default for regular Amethyst windows. And from a usability angle, we'd circle back to imposing defaults that users don’t want but are good for them (the "Eat your broccoli" toggle). I hope this makes sense.
