• "
• shoulder surfing
• "
• A person with limited mobility may not be able to effectively shield PIN input on a pinpad mounted at the end of their reach range that others might do in similar situations.
• A person using a speaker in public might not know that information on a screen has private information and that it will potentially be read aloud.
• A person might not know that some pieces of information can cause a serious privacy risk if others were to get it.
• A person might not know that the default option for a post is public instead of other, more private levels of access.
